Using Haptic and Neural Networks for Surface and Mechanical Properties 3D Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of haptic interfaces in surgery could provide the surgeon useful sensing information about the patient tissues. Our goal in this work, is to use the haptic interface to obtain some sample points on the surface of an object or organ tissue in medical applications. This elasticity information feeds an artificial neural network. The output of the neural network is an approximation of the compliance of the object which is touched, as well as the coordinates of 3D surface points which in fact are used for the 3D surface reconstruction of the object. Experimental results show that the reconstruction of objects from a elasticity point of view is possible, and that the use of a haptic interface can improve the performance of 3D reconstruction algorithms.

متن کاملStochastic reconstruction of carbon fiber paper gas diffusion layers of PEFCs: A comparative study
A 3D microstructure of the non-woven gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is reconstructed using a stochastic method. For a commercial GDL, due to the planar orientation of the fibers in the GDL, 2D SEM image of the GDL surface is used to estimate the orientation of the carbon fibers in the domain. Two more microstructures with different fiber orientations are g...
