We have been working on a number of projects concerning the problem of real-time 3D reconstruction using depth cameras with applications in medical augmented reality. The videos below show a couple of ideas and systems that we have developed. Further work may be carried out on multi-camera reconstruction for 3D recording in the operating room. Immediate applications of such systems are surgical training and medical education. The key here is to bring in machine learning based image analysis to extract clinically relevant information that physicians may need during intervention.
