Abstract[English]
A method, a computer program product, a computer program carrier, apparatus, and system for three-dimensional measurements of the outer ear shape, including the auditory canal and the concha. The apparatus may include a handpiece providing an earpiece dimensioned and shaped to occupy the auditory canal. The earpiece projects pattern lights, that can be selectively modulated onto an ear surface. The earpiece also provides flood illuminators and wide field-of-view imagers for capturing images generated by the projected light patterns. The handpiece provides a user interface for receiving one or more feedback modalities indicative of the location of a tip of the earpiece within the ear. A control unit located in the handpiece and a processing unit allow forming the three-dimensional measurements and their associated visualization.[French]
Procédé, produit programme d'ordinateur, support de programme d'ordinateur, appareil et système pour des mesures tridimensionnelles de la forme de l'oreille externe, y compris le conduit auditif et la conque. L'appareil peut comprendre une pièce à main fournissant une oreillette dimensionnée et formée pour occuper le conduit auditif. L'oreillette projette des motifs lumineux qui peuvent être modulés sélectivement sur une surface d'oreille. L'oreillette fournit également des dispositifs d'éclairage d'ambiance et des imageurs à large champ de vision pour capturer des images générées par les motifs lumineux projetés. La pièce à main fournit une interface utilisateur pour recevoir une ou plusieurs modalités de rétroaction indiquant l'emplacement d'une pointe de l'oreillette à l'intérieur de l'oreille. Une unité de commande située dans la pièce à main et une unité de traitement permettent de former les mesures tridimensionnelles et leur visualisation associée.
