Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a treatment plan for cosmetic procedures, for example, a hair transplantation procedure, are provided. The treatment plan allows user to provide input on a proposed hair element using a free-hand drawing in a two-dimensional plane, and for the proposed hair element to be generated and displayed on a three-dimensional model of a body surface. Various techniques and methods described in the application provide for improved planning of a natural looking hair.
Claims30
A method of planning for transplantation of hair grafts in a body surface, comprising:
- receiving two-dimensional (2-D) user input of a proposed hair element from a free-hand drawing;
- generating, with a use of a processor, and displaying the proposed hair element on a 3-D model of a body surface on a display device;
- and
- automatically generating a plurality of control points based on the proposed hair element on the 3-D model.
A system for planning a transplantation procedure is provided, the system comprising:
- a user interface including a user input device,
- at least one non-transitory storage medium storing instructions, and
- a processor comprising one or more modules for executing operations on image data, the one or more modules comprising instructions for:
- receiving two-dimensional (2-D) user input of a proposed hair element from a free-hand drawing;
- generating and displaying the proposed hair element on a 3-D model of a body surface on a display device;
- and
- automatically generating a plurality of control points based on the proposed hair element on the 3-D model.
