Constructing Three-Dimensional Models for Surgical Training Simulators

摘要

New technologies introduced into medicine necessitate training of medical personnel to operate new equipment and techniques. For this purpose, training simulators and educational materials should be provided to the medical staff involved. This work concerns creating 3D model of surgical field for simulators to promote minimally invasive surgery. The paper reports the modes of constructing a photorealistic model of surgical field from endoscopic video streams, SFM, SLAM methods, as well as the problem of surface reconstruction from a point cloud and texture mapping on the constructed model.
