Abstract:Abstract-The article presents the results achieved while researching a distance measuring method belonging to Depth From Defocus techniques. The method has been developed to determine the shape of a flaccid diaphragm used in the Ventricular Assist Device (VAD). The shape is determined on the basis of distance measured between the CCD sensor plate of a camera and the markers located on the flaccid diaphragm. The goal of this paper is to present the influence of marker size on distance range measured between the… Show more
“…The membrane is controlled by the gas forced into the pneumatic chamber. This is a continuation of the earlier research on the use of image processing and analytical techniques to determine the membrane shape and stroke volume of an artificial ventricle [3][4][5][6][7].…”
