This MATLAB class provides a framework for geometric transformations and evaluation of 3D surface models. It was developed in the context of orthopaedic research to align and compare pelvis geometries, but can be applied to other anatomical or technical models as well.
Key Features:
1. Scaling: Scales mesh geometry and corresponding anatomical landmarks.
2. Translation: Translates mesh and landmarks to a specified reference point.
3. Transformation (Kabsch Algorithm):
  • Computes optimal rigid body transformation (translation + rotation) between landmarks.
  • Returns transformation matrix, translation vector, Euler angles, and landmark errors.
  • Applies transformation to all mesh vertices.
4. Distance Measures
  • Vertex-to-Nearest-Neighbour Distance: Evaluates vertex correspondence between two meshes, visualizable via colormap.
  • Hausdorff Distance: Computes the bidirectional Hausdorff distance between two meshes.
How to Use
  1. Code structure: The Transformation Class can be integrated into a corresponding main script. The key parts of the code are extracted into individual functions for reuse.
  2. Import: Import your STL mesh and landmarks into MATLAB
  3. Apply transformation: Scaling, Translation, Transformation (Kabsch)
  4. Evaluate accuracy: vertex-to-nearest-neighbour distances, Hausdorff distances
  5. Results: for visualization or error mapping
Use Cases:
  • Alignment of anatomical STL models (e.g., pelvis, femur, etc.)
  • Quantitative evaluation of registration accuracy
  • Mesh comparison and error visualization
Benefits
  • Flexible: Works with any STL-based geometry.
  • Quantitative evaluation: Provides Euclidean error, vertex distances, and Hausdorff distance
  • Visualization-ready: Distance measures can be mapped onto mesh faces for intuitive color-coded analysis
Keywords
STL, transformation, mesh registration, rigid body alignment, Kabsch algorithm, Hausdorff distance, nearest neighbour, anatomical landmarks, pelvis
Compatibility:
This class is compatible with MATLAB and can easily be integrated into existing workflows for analysing the transformation of anatomical models. It is optimised for MATLAB 2024a but should be compatible with the most recent versions of MATLAB.
