Abstract

The declining availability of practical hours for medical anatomical education has prompted Enatom to develop a digital anatomical platform, utilizing the open-source WebGL-based point cloud renderer Potree. This platform, which employs detailed point cloud scans of anatomical structures, aims to offer a dynamic and interactive educational experience. Although Enatom's focus is not directly on geomatics, the techniques employed in this project have strong parallels with those used in geomatics, thereby enabling a symbiotic exchange of expertise. This interdisciplinary approach enhances the development of Enatom’s digital platform, with the potential to contribute to the field of geomatics. To address existing user experience challenges, this project has added a lasso-selection tool tailored for Potree, advanced annotation capabilities, and methods for sensitive data anonymization within the point cloud. The project's outcomes will be available in an open-source format at https://github.com/GEO1101-Synthesis-Group4/Selection-Annotation-Repo. This project exemplifies the versatile application of geomatics expertise beyond its traditional scope, demonstrating its potential in enhancing diverse domains such as medical education.
