    摘要: A method of designing hearing aid molds is disclosed whereby skeletons, or simplified models, of two ear impressions are used to register the graphical representations of the molds to facilitate the joint design of hearing aid shells. The center points of at least a portion of contour lines on the surface of each ear impression are identified. Then, for each ear impression, by connecting these center points to each adjacent center point, a skeleton that represents a simplified model of an ear impression is generated. Vectors describing the distance and direction from the points of each skeleton to an anatomical feature of each ear impression are identified to obtain a correspondence between the points of each skeleton. Three-dimensional translations and rotations of a feature vector of at least one of the skeletons are determined to achieve alignment of the skeleton of one ear impression with the skeleton of another impression.

    摘要: A method of designing hearing aid molds is disclosed whereby two shapes corresponding to graphical images of ear impressions are registered with each other to facilitate joint processing of the hearing aid design. In a first embodiment, a first graphical representation of a first ear impression is received and a feature, such as the aperture of the ear impression, is identified on that graphical model. A first vector is generated that represents the orientation and shape of that first feature. The three-dimensional translation and rotation of that first vector are determined that are necessary to align the first vector with a second vector representing the orientation and a shape of a feature, once again such as the aperture, of a second ear impression. In another embodiment, this alignment is then refined by minimizing the sum of the distances between points on the first and second graphical representations.

    摘要: A method for registering two three-dimensional shapes is disclosed whereby the two shapes are represented as zero level set of signed distance functions and the energy between these two functions is minimized. In a first embodiment, two undetailed ear impression models are rigidly registered with each other. In another embodiment, a detailed ear impression is initially aligned with an undetailed ear impression model and, then, the detailed ear impression model is rigidly registered with the undetailed ear impression model as a function of the signed distance functions. In accordance with another embodiment, an undetailed ear impression model is non-rigidly registered with a template ear impression model as a function of the signed distance functions.

    摘要: A method for three dimensional image segmentation of a volume of interest includes providing a three dimensional image of the volume of interest, providing an initial polyhedron having a plurality of mesh vertices within the three dimension image and determining an image-based speed at each vertex of the polyhedron using an ordinary differential equation (ODE) that describes the vertex motion of the polyhedron. The method further includes determining a regularization term at each vertex of the polyhedron, updating the plurality of mesh vertices of the polyhedron, integrating the image-based speed of each vertex over a face of the polyhedron, and determining an output polyhedron approximating a shape of the volume of interest.
