Uniform morphing with population measurement data to reconstruct the standing Chinese anatomical models from the cryo-section slice database

Abstract

Digital human models are frequently constructed with either MRI/CT images or cryo-section slices. In view of the current imaging techniques, lying-down is the most popular imaging position and consequently the constructed models by this approach dispose of the supine features. In contrast, many applications require the models with normal standing profile and reasonable internal tissue distribution. In this paper, we developed a method to adjust the profile of the lying- down Chinese anatomical models with the measurement data. Uniform morphing was applied for the internal tissues. The deformation was performed on slice-level with polar coordinate system. Matrix of feet was rotated by freeGLUT. The pre- and post-adjusted models were then utilized for electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure evaluation. At the last, discussion was made for the specification of the method as well as its applications. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
