PIPER  1.0.1
Known Limitations

Application

  • There is a single list of targets in the application

Modules

Pre Position

  • The gui of the joint controller only offers to control rotational degrees of freedom, no translation.
  • There is no way to save spine spline positioning target
  • There are no constraints on the volume conservation
  • Make some processes parallel (initialization, collisions, ...)
  • Store the target stiffness in the target file to facilitate repetitive tasks

Anthropometry personalization

  • For the population definition, make sure that if you defined a criteria for a bin, to define the same criteria for the rest of the bins.
  • While defining information for the population definition, make sure the informations concerning the different bins are differentiable. For exemple if you define two bins, with the same informations: 50% population of males both, it will generate a script execution error.
  • There is not output indicating how plausible the selection of predictor (w.r.t. the current database used). Unrealistic input may lead to unrealistic prediction without warning.

Metadata editor

  • Created joints are not appended to the existing ones
  • Currently cannot edit existing entities, only create new ones

Contour Deformation Positioning

  • There are limits of the angles by which each joint in the full GHBMC model is positioned. The restriction is because of the current classification of Skin Entities in the model.
  • Currently positioning at Shoulder Joint and Thorax region is not included in this release.

Contour Deformation GEBOD Personalization

  • Please select the parameter values such that they lie above the 5th percentile values of the human body model.
    Please generate the the GEBOD target values again from the Anthropometry module.
  • Only those ANSUR target parameters which correspond to 35 GEBOD parameters used to personalize the full GHBMC Model.

Anatomy DB

  • classes should be implemented to facilitate checking the landmark consistency (are points symmetric, distal, cranial, medial).
  • documentation still needs to be updated

Perspectives/Ideas

  • a new module for motion learning / motion library (able to interpolate/cache common motion)
