Optical spine and posture analysis with uEye industrial cameras
Summary
The DIERS formetric product family provides answers to a wide range of clinical questions concerning the objective and quantitative analysis of body statics and posture. The 4D technology (3D + temporal component) additionally enables a very high accuracy and significantly increases the clinical informative value compared to 3D methods. Users can choose from a large number of modern CMOS sensors from manufacturers such as Sony, CMOSIS, e2v and ON Semiconductor with a wide range of resolutions. Besides its outstanding light sensitivity, the camera is distinguished by a number of additional functions: As an example, the sensor offers two global and rolling shutter variants that can be switched during operation, thus providing maximum flexibility for changing requirements and environmental conditions. Image processing has a wide range of applications in this field and can hold the potential for completely new analysis and diagnostic procedures – absolutely contactless, radiation-free and thus gentle and painless for those being treated.
