Handy: Towards a high fidelity 3D hand shape and appearance model. R Potamias, S Ploumpis, S Moschoglou, V Triantafyllou and S Zafeiriou.

We collected a large dataset comprising of textured 3D hand scans. Our hand data were captured during a special exhibition at the Science Museum, London. The capturing apparatus utilized for this task was a 3dMDhand5 system, which is an active stereo photogrammetry software-driven optics-based system, which produces high quality dense meshes.

The Design of a Robotic Arm to Measure Elbow Torque and Contact Pressures in an EVA Suit Arm. LJ Simms, DC Hall, BJ Dunbar, and RO Ambrose.

To evaluate the effect of individual arm anthropometrics on “performance”, a 3dMD photogrammetric scanner was used to capture a digital scan of a subject’s arm from the acromioclavicular joint to the tip of the distal phalanx of the third digit.

Inferior Breast-Chest Contour Detection in 3D Images of the Female Torso. L Zhao, A Cheong, G Reece, M Fingeret, S Shah, F Merchant.

Date: September 2016 Source: IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine (Volume: PP, Issue: 99). Abstract: Stereophotogrammetry is finding increased use in clinical breast surgery, both for breast reconstruction after oncological procedures and cosmetic augmentation and reduction. The ability to visualize and quantify morphological features of the breast facilitates pre-operative planning and postoperative…

A Solution to Face-to-Face Contact in Tele-Presence Systems. X Zhou, P Boulanger.

Date: June 2015 Source: 2015 12th Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV) Proceedings (p 230 – 236), Halifax, Canada. Abstract: In tele-presence systems, direct face-to-face contact, is essential for emotional communication as it carries non-verbal clues. In commercial products, face-to-face contact is approximated by using either a large semi-transparent mirror to project an image…
