Personalized product design through digital fabrication

Personalized designs bring added value to the products and the users. Meanwhile, they also pose challenges to the product design process as each product differs. In this paper, with the focus on personalized fit, we present an overview as well as details of the personalized design process based on design practice. The general workflow of...

Next-generation prognosis framework for pediatric spinal deformities using bio-informed deep learning networks

Predicting pediatric spinal deformity (PSD) from X-ray images collected on the patient’s initial visit is a challenging task. This work builds on our previous method and provides a novel bio-informed framework based on a mechanistic machine learning technique with dynamic patient-specific parameters to predict PSD. We provide a geometry-based...

Posture-invariant three dimensional human hand statistical shape model

A high-fidelity digital representation of (part of) the human body is a key enabler for integrating humans in a digital twin. Among different parts of human body, building the model of the hand can be a challenging task due to the posture deviations among collected scans. In this article, we proposed a posture invariant statistical shape...

Feature preserving non-rigid iterative weighted closest point and semi-curvature registration

Preserving features of a surface as characteristic local shape properties captured e.g. by curvature, during non-rigid registration is always difficult where finding meaningful correspondences, assuring the robustness and the convergence of the algorithm while maintaining the quality of mesh are often challenges due to the high degrees of...
