Abstract

The study is dedicated to the relevant topic of automated detection of muscle imbalance and postural deformities, which is particularly in demand among patients with orthopedic prostheses and in pediatric orthopedics. The authors propose a portable monitoring system that uses computer vision methods to assess the level of the pelvis, shoulders, and shoulder blades, ensuring the storage of photogrammetric data for subsequent analysis of rehabilitation results. The purpose of the work is to study methods for detecting optical markers on the human body when analyzing gait. The research tasks included conducting an analysis with a justification of the need to study computer graphics methods in the context of photogrammetric systems used in rehabilitation orthopedics; studying the impact of color characteristics of markers on detection accuracy; studying the impact of marker shape on detection accuracy; and analyzing the obtained results. The subject of the study is computer graphics and machine vision methods for detecting markers on the subject's body. The object of the study is photogrammetric technologies in orthopedics. As a result of the study, it was established that the use of the HSV color format for marker detection demonstrates high accuracy and low error even under changing lighting conditions. It was found that the shape of the marker affects detection accuracy, with the best results shown by the square shape. The research results confirmed the feasibility of using photogrammetry methods to assess joint asymmetry and muscle imbalance. Further research will focus on increasing the speed and accuracy of marker detection with non-stationary camera placement and a complicated background.
