  • Method and system for 3D image dynamic correction evaluation and orthotics auxiliary design
    Patent number: 11475633
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) image dynamic correction evaluation and auxiliary design method for orthotics includes the following steps. 3D scanning information of the human body is obtained. A plurality of 2D images of the human body is obtained for identification, and the pixel values of the 2D images are calculated so as to synthesize an original 3D spine curve. The 2D images of the human body and the 3D scan information are synthesized. An image deformation prediction and correction method of body shape is used to generate a deformed body shape of the human body. A spine material properties and mechanical model prediction method is used to predict parameters of the position, direction and magnitude of the force applied by an orthotics to the human body according to the deformed body shape.
