Augmented reality presentation system of skeleton image based on biomedical features

Abstract

Aimed at limitations in the description and expression of three-dimensional (3D) physical information in two-dimentsional (2D) medical images, feature extraction and matching method based on the biomedical characteristics of skeletons is employed in this paper to map the 2D images of skeletons into a 3D digital model. Augmented reality technique is used to realize the interactive presentation of skeleton models. Main contents of this paper include: Firstly, a three-step reconstruction method is used to process the bone CT image data to obtain its three-dimensional surface model, and the corresponding 2D–3D bone library is established based on the identification index of the 2D image and the 3D model; then, a fast and accurate feature extraction and matching algorithm is developed to realize the recognition, extraction, and matching of 2D skeletal features, and determine the corresponding 3D skeleton model according to the matching result. Finally, based on the augmented reality technique, an interactive immersive presentation system is designed to achieve visual effects of the virtual human bone model superimposed and rendered in the world scenes, which improves the effectiveness of information expression and transmission, as well as the user's immersion and embodied experience.
