Functional studies of human organism require not only static measures, but also an analysis of dynamic behaviour.
Taking as an example vertebral column, the study of its functionality needs something more than static images coming from typical RX. These images are projections on a plane of a three-dimensional structure and as a consequence of this process it can be lost valuable information of the spinal column.
In order to obtain spinal geometry and its functional state, describing interactions between involved anatomical areas, it is necessary a powerful data acquisition system. Such a system would allow obtaining descriptors of position and mobility in spines.
We propose a stereo vision system capable of reconstructing 3-D geometry of vertebral column in personal computers. This is an economically assumable solution because it consists of non-expensive specific hardware.
The main features of the proposed system are:
Being a non-invasive instrument of analysis and measure, without interfering the movements of the person under study, requiring a short time of patient preparation.
Needing short time for acquisition, analysis and process of data.
Obtaining accurate results, with commercial hardware and low computational burden to warrantee a low global cost.
