3 SKULL DEFORMITY ANALYZING SYSTEM USING A 3D MORPHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTOR AND A METHOD FOR ANALYZING SKULL DEFORMITY USING THE SAME

摘要

In an automatic skull deformity determining system using a 3D morphological descriptor and an automatic skull deformity determining method using the same, the automatic skull deformity determining system includes an image capturing unit, a skull model generating unit, an operating unit, and a skull deformity determining unit. The image capturing unit captures a skull image of a patient. The skull model generating unit obtains actual skull information from the image captured by the image capturing unit and generates an average skull model from a database. The operating unit includes a skull model deforming unit which deforms the average skull model using a plurality of referent points allocated to each actual skull and the average skull model and a skull deformity operating unit which operates a determination index of skull deformity based on the deformed amount of the average skull model. The skull deformity determining unit determines the actual skull deformity based on the determination index of the skull deformity. Accordingly, it is possible to give early treatment by quickly and accurately diagnosing the skull deformity.
