| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During surgery, surgeons requests to use some contacting devices to display or visualize medical images and check the anatomic information of the patient. However, after operating the visualization device, re-sterilization is necessary in order to maintain hygiene. In this study, we develop a novel computer assistant surgery system using touch-less device system, which can manipulate by surgeon themselves and keep hygiene condition. The depth and skeleton information from Kinect are effectively utilized to produce marker-less hand extraction. The development system can manipulate the anatomical model of the patient presented on the L-shaped screen based on the gesture information obtained from KINECT.
Our development system can visualize 3D medical image with L-shape type screen and 9 kinds of simple touch-less single handed interactions. Experiments show that the proposed system is able to achieve high accuracy.
