Research that reconstructs a 3D model from a freehand 2D sketch has gained attention since 1990s, when data integration in the CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC chain was an important issue. However, 2D sketches in the conceptual design phase have not been integrated with the downstream CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC chain. In this paper, we present a method to interface a freehand sketch modeling to commercial CAD systems by mapping a sketch modeling history to the macro parametric history. We use an extended ISO10303-112 standard to represent the modeling history in a gestural modeling system and translate sketch files to neutral macro files. Macro parametric translators are used to translate netural macro files to commercial CAD files.

This paper is concerning off-line signature verification using a density function which is obtained by convolving the signature image with twelve-directional 5$\times$5 gradient masks and the weighted fuzzy mean classifier. The twelve-directional density function based on Nevatia-Babu template gradient is related to the overall shape of a signature image and thus, utilized as a feature set. The weighted fuzzy mean classifier with the reference feature vectors extracted from only genuine signature samples is evaluated for the verification of freehand forgeries. The experimental results show that the proposed system can classify a signature whether genuine or forged with more than 98% overall accuracy even without any knowledge of vaned freehand forgeries.

Seamless data integration in the CAx chain of the CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC has been achieved to a high degree, but research concerning the transfer of data from conceptual sketches to a CAD system should be carried out further. This paper presents a method for reconstructing a 3D model from a freehand sketch. Sketch-based modeling research can be classified into gestural modeling methods and reconstructional modeling methods. This research involves the reconstructional modeling method. Here, Mitani's seminal work, designed for box-shaped 3D model using a predefined template, is improved by leveraging a relational template and specialized for automotive design. Matching between edge graphs of the relational template and the sketch is formulated and solved as the assignment problem using the feature vectors of the edges. Including the stroke preprocessing method required to generate an edge graph from a sketch, necessary procedures and relevant techniques for implementing the template-based modeling method are described. Examples from a working implementation are given.

This paper delas with the detection of freehand forgeries of signatures based on the averaged directional amplitudes of gradient vetor which are related to the overall shape of the handwritten signature and fuzzy ARTMAP neural network classifier. In the first step, signature images are extracted from the background by a process involving noise reduction and automatic thresholding. Next, twelve directional amplitudes of gradient vector for each pixel on the signature line are measure and averaged through the entire signature image. With these twelve averaged directional gradient amplitudes, the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network is trained and tested for the detection of freehand forgeries of singatures. The experimental results show that the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network cna lcassify a signature whether genuine or forged with greater than 95% overall accuracy.

Objective : To analyze the accuracy of iliac screws using freehand technique performed by the same surgeon. We also analyzed how the breach of iliac screws was related to the clinical symptoms resulting in revision surgery. Methods : From January 2009 to November 2015, 100 patients (193 iliac screws) were analyzed using postoperative computed tomography scans. The breaches were classified based on the superior, inferior, lateral, and medial iliac wall violation by the screw. According to the length of screw extrusion, the classification grades were as follows : grade 1, screw extrusion <1 cm; grade II, 1 cm ≤ screw extrusion <2 cm; grade III, 2 cm ≤ screw extrusion <3 cm; and grade IV, 3 cm ≤ screw extrusion. We also reviewed the revision surgery associated with iliac screw misplacement. Results : Of the 193 inserted screws, 169 were correctly located and 24 were misplaced screws. There were eight grade I, six grade II, six grade III, and four grade IV screw breaches, and 11, 8, 2, and 3 screws violated the medial, lateral, superior, and inferior walls, respectively. Four revision surgeries were performed for the grade III or IV iliac screw breaches in the lateral or inferior direction with respect to its related symptoms. Conclusion : In iliac screw placement, 12.4% breaches developed. Although most breaches were not problematic, symptomatic violations (2.1%) could result in revision surgery. Notably, the surgeon should keep in mind that lateral or inferior wall breaches longer than 2 cm can be risky and should be avoided.

Objective : External ventricular drain (EVD) is commonly performed with a freehand technique using surface anatomical landmarks at two different cranial sites, Kocher's point and the forehead. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the accuracy and safety of these percutaneous ventriculostomies. Methods : A retrospectively review of medical records and head computed tomography scans were examined in 227 patients who underwent 250 freehand pass ventriculostomy catheter placements using two different methods at two institutions, between 2003 and 2009. Eighty-one patients underwent 101 ventriculostomies using Kocher's point (group 1), whereas 146 patients underwent 149 forehead ventriculostomies (group 2). Results : In group 1, the catheter tip was optimally placed in either the ipsilateral frontal horn or the third ventricle, through the foramen of Monro (grade 1) in 82 (81.1%) procedures, in the contralateral lateral ventricle (grade 2) in 4 (3.9%), and into eloquent structures or non-target cerebrospinal space (grade 3) in 15 (14.8%). Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) >1 mL developed in 5 (5.0%) procedures. Significantly higher incidences of optimal catheter placements were observed in group 2. ICH>1 mL developed in 11 (7.4 %) procedures in group 2, showing no significant difference between groups. In addition, the mean interval from the EVD to ventriculoperitoneal shunt was shorter in group 2 than in group 1, and the incidence of EVD-related infection was decreased in group 2. Conclusion : Accurate and safe ventriculostomies were achieved using both cranial sites, Kocher's point and the forehead. However, the forehead ventriculostomies provided more accurate ventricular punctures.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has been widely used for accurate screw and pin placement in orthopedic surgery and neurosurgery. However, there are few reports comparing the accuracy between the patient-specific guides and freehand Kirschner wire (K-wire) placement in toy, small and medium breed dogs. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of 3D printed patient-specific guides (PSGs) in pin insertion in the thoracolumbar vertebrae of toy breed dogs and compare the outcomes between novice and experienced surgeons. The experiment was conducted on the thoracolumbar vertebrae of 21 euthanized toy breed dogs (median weight, 5.95 kg). The optimal insertion angle placement was determined and patient-specific guides for K-wire insertion were designed and 3D printed using computed tomography (CT) and a 3D computer-aided design program of three vertebrae (Thoracic 12-Lumbar 1). K-wire tracts were made by experienced and novice surgeons and compared to assess the accuracy based on postoperative CT. Based on postoperative CT, in the experienced group, 61 out of 63 pins (96.8%) were fully contained inside the vertebral body and lamina, whereas two pins (3.2%) had perforated the vertebral canal (grade 3, 2-4 mm breach). However, all the pins in the novice group were fully contained. The use of 3D printed PSGs for pin insertion in the thoracolumbar region is an accurate and safe alternative to freehand screw placement by novice surgeons in toy, small and medium breed dogs. Operations with 3D printed PSGs allow novice surgeons to achieve better or similar outcomes in accurate placement of pin/screws in vertebrae.

Objective : An adjustable Ghajar guide is presented to improve the accuracy of the original Ghajar guide technique. The accuracy of the adjustable Ghajar guide technique is also investigated. Methods : The coronal adjustment angle from the orthogonal catheter trajectory at Kocher's point is determined based on coronal head images using an electronic picture archiving and communication system. For the adjustable Ghajar guide, a protractor is mounted on a C-shaped basal plate that is placed in contact with the margin of a burrhole, keeping the central $0^{\circ}$ line of the protractor orthogonal to the calvarial surface. A catheter guide, which is moved along the protractor and fixed at the pre-determined adjustment angle, is then used to guide the ventricular catheter into the frontal horn adjacent to the foramen of Monro. The adjustable Ghajar guide technique was applied to 20 patients, while a freehand technique based on the surface anatomy of the head was applied to another 47 patients. The accuracy of the ventricular catheter placement was then evaluated using postoperative computed tomography scans. Results : For the adjustable Ghajar guide technique (AGT) patients, the bicaudate index ranged from 0.23 to 0.33 ($mean{\pm}standard$ deviation [SD] : $0.27{\pm}0.03$) and the adjustment angle ranged from $0^{\circ}$ to $10^{\circ}$ ($mean{\pm}SD:5.2^{\circ}{\pm}3.2^{\circ}$). All the AGT patients experienced successful cerebrospinal fluid diversion with only one pass of the catheter. Optimal placement of the ventricular catheter in the ipsilateral frontal horn approximating the foramen of Monro (grade 1) was achieved in 19 patients (95.0%), while a suboptimal trajectory into a lateral corner of the frontal horn passing along a lateral wall of the frontal horn (grade 3) occurred in 1 patient (5.0%). Thus, the AGT patients experienced a significantly higher incidence of optimal catheter placement than the freehand catheterized patients (95.0% vs. 68.3%, p=0.024). Moreover, none of the AGT patients experienced any tract hemorrhages along the catheter or procedure-related complications. Conclusion : The proposed adjustable Ghajar guide technique, using angular adjustment in the coronal plane from the orthogonal trajectory at Kocher's point, facilitates accurate freehand placement of a ventricular catheter for hydrocephalic patients.
