Próteses a custos reduzidos: estudo de viabilidade e experimentos computacionais para prova de conceito

Abstract

This work is handled a problem that afflicts many people worldwide, caused by accidents, diseases or injuries presenting visual aspects that generate psychological impact on the person and those of your relationship and fellowship. It demonstrated a possible solution to cost-effectively using equipment, materials and algorithms to reduce the impacts from mitigation techniques. Feasibility studies and types of materials to be used for prostheses, experiments with scanned for proof of concept and interviews to survey data on psychological impact of interaction with the injured person files, seek to point the feasibility and possible benefits derived from this work. Capture the image of damaged skin to use prostheses facilitating faster reintegration with society, is the professional aspect but also in social life. The manipulation of images is done using Python code and the OpenCV library (Open Source Computer Vision Library), and is used to define the site of the skin graft.
