Procesamiento automatizado de modelos tridimensionales de úlceras cutáneas

Résumé

Geomatics includes techniques such as photogrammetry, remote sensing and geographic information systems, which provide applicable tools in various areas of biomedicine, for example skin ulcer measurement. In previous projects we developed procedures for acquiring data and measuring skin ulcers using a digital photo camera, a manual scanner and photogrammetry software based on correlation. We have tested our technique in a randomized clinical trial in patients with chronic leg ulcers. In the present project an application system is created with the following objectives: automate the processing of three-dimensional models of cutaneous ulcers and generate documentation that ease the interpretation of the evolution of skin ulcers by medical personnel (including PDF report, AVI animation and XOS augmented reality project). We also created a website prototype that stores the documentation, allowing registered users to upload photographs and consult or modify the database of skin ulcers. A test is performed with 50 cutaneous leg ulcers, in order to debug and improve the application system and the website prototype.
