摘要:
A navigation apparatus comprises a navigation-related information generating section and a display section. The navigation-related information generating section measures the position and orientation of an object and a target in a three-dimensional space and generate navigation-related information to be used for navigating the object toward the target. The display section displays the navigation-related information generated by the navigation-related information generating section in any of different modes depending on the relationship of the position and orientation of the object and that of the target. A surgical operation image acquisition/display apparatus comprises an observation section, an image display section and a specifying section. The observation section includes a plurality of observation sections whose position and orientation is modifiable. The image display section is adapted to alternatively display any of the images obtained by the observation sections or synthetically combine and display the combined images. The specifying section specifies the image to be displayed to the image display section according to the position and orientation of the observation section.

摘要:
A reference frame adapted to be fitted to a subject of medical treatment and provided with markers for determining the position or the orientation of the subject comprises fitting section for fitting the reference frame with the subject at least three spots (tops of the left and right ears and the nasal projection) along the undulations of the surface thereof and three or more than three markers detectable at least ether in an X-ray image or in an MRI image of the reference frame, the markers being to be arranged at predetermined positions not connectable by a straight line. A surgical operation navigating system determines the coordinates of the markers in a coordinate system defined for the image taken for the purpose of medical examination of the subject who is carrying the reference frame on the basis of the obtained image. Then the corresponding relationship is established between the coordinate system for the image for examination and the coordinate system for the real space containing the markers on the basis of the result of the operation of determining the coordinates of the markers in the coordinate system for the image for examination and the coordinates of the markers in the coordinate system for the real space.

A surgical operation navigation apparatus comprises a medical image storage section that stores three-dimensional information of a subject measured by a medical image diagnosis unit. A modification information storage section modifies and stores the three-dimensional information of the subject based on predicted modification of the subject. A morphological shape measuring instrument measures a three-dimensional morphological shape of the subject. A morphological shape information storage section compares a three-dimensional morphological shape of a subject with three-dimensional information, and selects and outputs three-dimensional information of the subject that is the most analogous to the morphological shape of the subject. A data image generating section generates data image from the selected, outputted three-dimensional information of the subject. An image superimposing section superimposes a data image from the data image generation section and an image of the subject from the surgical operation utensil, and outputs the superimposed image to an image display device.

An information presentation system includes an imaging unit, a peripheral information acquisition unit which acquires peripheral information, a storage unit which stores registered information, an analytic basic information construction unit which constructs analytic basic information from the registered information stored in the storage unit, on the basis of the peripheral information acquired in the peripheral information acquisition unit, a pertinent information acquisition unit which acquires information pertinent to the image from the image obtained from the imaging unit and the analytic basic information obtained from the analytic basic information construction unit, and a presentation unit which presents the pertinent information acquired in the pertinent information acquisition unit. The analytic basic information construction unit changes the analytic basic information on the basis of at least one of a time, date, season, weather, temperature, humidity, place, surrounding brightness, average color/color distribution of the acquired image, surrounding sound and model.

A three-dimensional model search method includes a step of producing a plurality of two-dimensional images obtained by observing a three-dimensional model as an object of search from points of view different from one another. In a first value extraction step, the respective feature values of the two-dimensional images are extracted from the plurality of two-dimensional images. In a search key input step, a two-dimensional image as a search key is inputted. In a second extraction step, the feature value is extracted from the two-dimensional image as the search key. In a similarity search step, the feature values extracted in the first and second extraction steps are used to carry out similarity search, and a three-dimensional model which is similar to the search key is outputted.

An inputting/designating section inputs a multimedia object or designates a multimedia object previously stored in a database. A feature-value-determining section determines the feature value of the input or designated multimedia object. A weighting-factor-determining section determines the determined feature-value weighting factor of the multimedia object. A similarity-retrieval section retrieves the similarity of the multimedia object previously stored in the database by using the determined feature value and the determined feature-value weighting factor. A displaying section displays a multimedia object similar to the multimedia object designated by the inputting/designating section in accordance with the result of similarity retrieval. A similarity-ranking-changing section changes similarity rankings of the displayed multimedia object. A similarity-recalculating section recalculates the feature-value weighting factor of the multimedia object in accordance with the changed similarity ranking and recalculates a similarity by using the feature-value weighting factor.
