Image-based Wrist Motion Tracking

Themes People Videos Talks Sponsors Publications Bibliography

Status: Completed

Imaging allows us to measure not only biological shapes, but also their motion and deformation. Such information is essential in computational modeling. We use unsupervised tissue classification to reduce imaging artifacts. As a result, we were able to develop a subvoxel-accurate method for tracking bone-motion from sequences of volume images. Results showed expanded capabilities and average accuracy improvements of 74% over the previous-best technique.
