Augmented Reality-Based Lung Ultrasound Guidance

Öffentlich Deposited

The following project creates additions to the existing Lung Ultrasound (LUS) project pursued in the previous scholastic year by Fusion Labs. This addition to the LUS project will include 3D projection mapping augmentation as well as Long Term Support (LTS) implementation within the existing object detection library used in the previous year. 3D projection mapping is the projection of light onto a 3D object(s) that matches and/or compliments that object's contours in such a way where it looks like a blanket or mesh. In the case of this project, the 3D projection mapping in use will also take the pose estimation of an individual and live render its projection onto that individual if they were to move positions. It is expected that the work previously done on the project will interface the 3D projection mapping component in such a way where its detection points will have influence over the location of the projection. In recent years, Augmented Reality (AR) in the forms of wearable electronics (Hololens, realware) and non-wearable electronics (projection mapping) alike have gained massive popularity in the private sector (and massive “hype” in the public one). There will be continuous development on these technologies for the foreseeable future. One of the fields currently looking to implement these technologies for more than just marketing, art, or entertainment is the medical industry. There are an uncountable number of applications of AR in the medical industry. This project is meant to test and implement one of those applications. If successful, this method could go on to serve as a foundation for several other operations and use cases.
