Latest Patents
Junchen Wang holds a patent for a "Surgical navigation system, surgical navigation method and program." This system is designed to store clustering information obtained by clustering multiple sets of viewpoints relative to the teeth of a three-dimensional model of a patient. It also includes projection images of a head, which encompasses the teeth from various viewpoints. During surgery, the system creates comparative images from a photographed image taken by a monocular camera. It then searches for any viewpoint with a projection image similar to the comparative image, sequentially from a first hierarchy to a final hierarchy in the clustering information. The system sets a representative viewpoint based on the viewpoint of the final hierarchy, restoring the position and posture of the patient's teeth relative to the monocular camera. This restoration allows for the generation and output of a navigation image based on the position and posture of surgical information relative to the teeth after the restoration.
