Virtual Human Body in Medicine- Modeling, Navigation and Fusion with Real Body

نویسنده

  • Jun-ichiro Toriwaki
چکیده

This article introduces briefly recent topics concerning the use of virtual human body (VHB)' in medicine. Potential use of VHB as a model of the human body is first described. Then we summarize the use of VHB fiom two aspects: (a) search or deformation, and (b) using VHB only or both VHB and real body. As examples of each group in this classification, we present virtual endoscope, navigation diagnosis, virtual resection, augmented endoscope, and image-guided surgery.

Navigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network

Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...

Modeling the Vertical Falling Life Chute

Stretchable woven chute is a safe device for falling humans from multi-story buildings in emergencies. During the fall, the elastomeric property of the fabric, in the weft direction, causes radial forces towards the human body inside .These radial forces lead to frictional forces between the chute and the body. The falling man can reduce the falling speed by exerting outward forces via stretchi...

Thirdspace: The Trialectics of the Real, Virtual and Blended Spaces

This article aims to redefine the concept of Thirdspace and make a trilateral relationship between the three concepts of real space, virtual space and the user. To do so, not only the concept of Thirdspace has to be redefined, but also a new understanding of virtual space as a relatively independent space is required. This three-sided relation requires a new understanding of the relationship be...

A biomechanical modeling of an automotive passenger body to investigate the vertical vibration in various road profiles using transmissibility analysis

In the current paper, a biomechanical model of human body with unique structure is developed for evaluating the biodynamic responses, the vibration transmissibility and the transmitted accelerations to vertical vibration for the seated position with ignoring backrest support. In this regard, the 6-DoF Lumped-parameter model with six concentrated masses which are connected with linear springs an...
