The present disclosure provides for methods, systems and instruments for creating a partial model of a head for use in planning or tracking a procedure, such as hair transplantation. The methodology allows for an accurate 3D representation to be quickly and efficiently generated of an identified portion of the head, not the entire head, from two or more 2D images, such as still images. According to the methodology of the present disclosure a 3D dome representation of the top portion of the head of a subject may be created based on the data extracted from one or more 2D images and/or a certain determined height dimension.

Methods, systems and instruments for creating partial model of a head for use in hair transplantation

A system is disclosed for performing hair transplantation procedures. The system may include a robotic arm and a tool coupled to the robotic arm, the tool configured for hair harvesting, site making or hair implantation. The system further includes a touch screen user interface that supports touch gestures for efficiently creating and manipulating objects, such as reserved regions, that control the harvesting, site making, and/or implantation sites selected by the system. The user interface implements logic rules that use the context in which a touch gesture is performed to determine the type of operation intended. The touch interface substantially eliminates or reduces the need for a user to use a keyboard or mouse during the procedure.

Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of procedure sites, for example hair implantation sites, the method and systems enabling a natural looking randomness to be maintained to achieve a desired density while avoiding previously created procedure sites and existing features.

Systems and methods for creating hair transplantation procedure sites

Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of procedure sites, for example hair implantation sites, the method and systems enabling a natural looking randomness to be maintained to achieve a desired density while avoiding previously created procedure sites and existing features. In reference to hair transplantation, methods and systems are provided that allow to account for any terminal and non-terminal hair to assist in selecting locations for hair harvesting or implantation.

Methods and systems are provided for gesture-based editing of three-dimensional (3D) models of real targets, for example, for use in planning hair transplantation procedures. According to some embodiments of the methodology disclosed, a 3D control points on an initial default model are matched automatically with the drawing of an outline of a target feature that a user wishes to define and deformed appropriately to quickly and accurately modify and update the initial default model into a resulting fitting model of the real target.
