  • Patent number: 10512321
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for methods, systems and instruments for creating a partial model of a head for use in planning or tracking a procedure, such as hair transplantation. The methodology allows for an accurate 3D representation to be quickly and efficiently generated of an identified portion of the head, not the entire head, from two or more 2D images, such as still images. According to the methodology of the present disclosure a 3D dome representation of the top portion of the head of a subject may be created based on the data extracted from one or more 2D images and/or a certain determined height dimension.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 24, 2019
    Assignee: Restoration Robotics, Inc.
    Inventors: Franklin T. McArthur, Gabriele Zingaretti, Ognjen Petrovic

  • Patent number: 8954862
    Abstract: A method and system for documenting collaboration by a team analyzing telemetry data, where the data is used to generate a three dimensional visual display modeling the objects and events recorded by the telemetry data. One of the collaborating team members controls display of the model, and each collaborator is able to interact with the visual display and to employ a virtual camera to display and record operation of the model from a perspective selected by the member. Collaborating team members enter time-stamped notes which are displayed in sequential order for all collaborators on a common portion of a display screen upon replay of the simulation. Each team member is provided with a microphone and audio gear to collaborate by voice with other members of the team. The notes and virtual camera views coupled to the simulation provide decision makers on the team with an improved understanding of the problem modeled by the simulation, thereby facilitating an improved decision.
