WG Mission: The current name of the WG "Medical image analysis, human motion and body measurements" reflects the wide range of issues involved in what used to be known as "Medical Photogrammetry" from the beginning of the last century. All these years many efforts have been done to bring together the ever expanding disciplines of Photogrammetry and Computer vision, Digital imaging and Computer graphics, Biomedical and Biomechanical engineering, Medicine, Biometry and Motion analysis. The aim of this WG is to become a "focal point" for all these interested scientists, who believe that this is a truly interesting discipline and a scientifically very rewarding area with a great importance to the progress and well-being of mankind. Terms of Reference: Research and development in techniques and systems for analysis and 3D reconstruction in medical imaging, dentistry, and biomaterial engineering, biomedical and biomechanical engineering, tele-medicine, advanced 3D computer vision techniques and medical VR/AR. Research and development in techniques and systems for analysis, 3D reconstruction and applications in sport medicine and fitness (e.g. motion capture, human gait analysis, full body measurement, shape tracking) and face and expression analysis. Vision techniques in biometry research, security applications and forensics. Applications of 3D surface measurement techniques for medical applications (orthodontics, prosthetics, orthopedics, plastic surgery, reconstructive medicine, forensic medicine, dentistry, ORL, cosmetics). Applications of 3D motion capture techniques for clinical motion analysis, registration of patient-specific data. Adaptation of photogrammetric techniques for geometric modelling and (self-)calibration of X-ray and tomography systems. Cooperation and collaboration between ISPRS and the communities of medical/biomedical engineering, human/user interface development and animation.
