No entanto, conhecimentos anatômicos como também técnicos são essenciais para a realização de um adequado tratamento. Desta forma, a reabilitação através da instalação de implantes dentários na região interforaminal (forames mentuais) tornou-se comum em reabilitações totais mandibulares. Em consequência disto, um grande número de transtornos sensoriais tem sido descritos e relacionados a alças anteriores do nervo mentual. A divisão do canal mandibular em nervo mentual, responsável pela inervação de tecidos moles (mucosa vestibular, fundo de sulco vestibular, mucosa labial do lábio inferior, pele do mento e lábio inferior), e feixe incisivo, que pode localizar-se no canal incisivo e é responsável pela inervação da região ântero-inferior (dentes e tecidos periodontais) deve ser considerada no planejamento de intervenções nesta região. A injúria a alça do nervo mentual do canal mandibular e ao feixe incisivo poderá trazer transtornos como perda de sensibilidade, edema, hematoma e falha na osseointegração. Apesar de ser considerada uma área segura para cirurgias ela é muito negligenciada no planejamento de tais procedimentos. A associação do conhecimento anatômico, tanto clínico quanto de imagens, torna o procedimento mais previsível devido às variações anatômicas, fazendo-se necessários exames de imagens, essenciais no controle de acidentes relacionados aos procedimentos de implantes intraforaminais. Como um dos exames de imagem mais utilizado em implantes dentais, a radiografia panorâmica apresenta precisão diagnóstica questionável. Portanto, verificamos a precisão da radiografia panorâmica quando comparada com a tomografia computadorizada cone-beam no diagnóstico da alça anterior do nervo mentual. Palavras chave: radiografia.panorâmica, tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico, alça anterior do nervo mentual. / Abstract: Oral rehabilitation with dental implants has revolutionized dentistry. However, both anatomical and technical knowledge are essential to provide an appropriate treatment. Thus, the rehabilitation by installing dental implants at interforaminal region (mental foramina) has become common in total mandibular rehabilitation. Consequently, a large number of sensory disorders has been described and related to the anterior loop of mental nerve. The division of the mandibular canal into mental nerve, responsible for innervation of soft tissues (buccal mucosa, bottom of buccal sulcus, labial mucosa of the lower lip, skin of the chin and lower lip), and incisive branch, which may be located in the incisive canal and is responsible for the innervation of the lower anterior region (teeth and periodontal tissues) should be considered during the planning of interventions in this region. Injury to the loop of the mental nerve of the mandibular canal and to the incisive branch will likely bring disorders such as loss of sensitivity, swelling, hematoma and failure of osseointegration. Although considered a safe area for surgery, it is very neglected in the planning of such procedures. The association of anatomical knowledge, both clinical and of images, makes the procedure more predictable due to anatomical variations, making the imaging examinations necessary, which are essential in the control of accidents related to intraforaminal implant procedures. As one of the most widely used imaging examinations in dental implants, panoramic radiograph presents questionable diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, we verified the accuracy of panoramic radiograph in comparison with cone-beam computed tomography in the diagnosis of the anterior loop of the mental nerve. Keywords: panoramic radiography, cone-beam computed tomography, anterior loop length, mental nerve. / Doutorado / Cirurgia e Traumatologia Buco-Maxilo-Faciais / Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

The topic of this thesis is design of a panoramic X-ray. The main contribution is a new view on ergonomics of operator and a possibility of seating for patient. The aim is to create a device with innovative seating incorporated into the supporting leg of the machine, and to improve an ergonomics of machine manipulation. But it is also necessary to maintain all the technical, ergonomic, aesthetic and environmental requirements. The final draft should be able compete with existing products on the market.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Radiographic examination is an essential facet of dental implant therapy, and the success of this therapy depends on a suitable treatment based on adequate clinical and radiographic information. International organisational bodies have published guidelines on the use of radiographic imaging during implant therapy, but since the cone beam computed tomography modality became available, a need for the development of comprehensive imaging guidelines to limit the misuse of this modality became necessary. There is a lack of stringency regarding the recommendations and guidelines on radiographic imaging modalities used during implant therapy. This is due to variations in practice, experience, and socioeconomic factors. The most recent published global guidelines and recommendations and their relevance to dental implant therapy are described in this chapter.

Background: The abdominal muscles are vital in providing core stability for proper function in most activities. There is a correlation between side asymmetry of theses muscles and dysfunction. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare trunk muscle morphology and trunk rotational strength between sprinters, a symmetrical sport and sprint hurdlers, an asymmetrical sport. Methods: Twenty-one trained collegiate sprinters and sprint hurdlers were recruited for the study (12 M, 9 F), average age (years) 20.2   1.5, height (cm) 176.9   9.1, and weight (kg) 70.6   9.8. Using real-time ultrasound, panoramic images of the internal oblique (IO) and external oblique (EO) were obtained at rest and contracted in a seated position for both right and left sides of the trunk. Results: Average trunk rotation strength to the right was greater among all participants, p < 0.001. The IO had greater thickness changes than EO for all participants. The IO side asymmetry was significantly different between groups p < 0.01. Conclusion: Sprinters, although involved in a seemingly symmetrical sport, exhibit asymmetrical trunk morphology and rotational strength, while hurdlers, involved in a unilaterally demanding sport, exhibit the expected asymmetry in muscle morphology and trunk rotational strength.

Depth perception has become a heavily researched area as companies and researchers are striving towards the development of self-driving cars. Self-driving cars rely on perceiving the surrounding area, which heavily depends on technology capable of providing the system with depth perception capabilities. In this paper, we explore developing a single camera (monocular) depth prediction model that is trained on panoramic depth images. Our model makes novel use of transfer learning efficient encoder models, pre-training on a larger dataset of flat depth images, and optimizing the model for use with a Jetson Nano. Additionally, we present a training and optimization framework to make developing and testing new monocular depth perception models easier and faster. While the model failed to achieve a high frame rate, the framework and models developed are a promising starting place for future work.

This project explores the design and implementation of synchronized Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera control for panoramic imaging, with a specific focus on enhancing surveillance systems in air traffic management. The motivation for this study comes from the need for better monitoring in air traffic control, where panoramic views can greatly improve situational awareness and safety. The main challenge is coordinating multiple PTZ cameras to capture and stitch images, creating a comprehensive panoramic view despite individual camera limitations. The study uses simulation to test synchronization and image stitching techniques, ensuring camera alignment and seamless panoramic images. Results indicate the system's robustness and potential for real-world applications, though future validation with physical hardware is necessary.

This thesis analyzes the problem of acquiring stereoscopic images in all gazing directions around a reference viewpoint in space with the purpose of creating stereoscopic panoramas of non-static scenes. The generation of immersive stereoscopic imagery suitable to stimulate human stereopsis requires images from two distinct viewpoints with horizontal parallax in all gazing directions, or to be able to simulate this situation in the generated imagery. The available techniques to produce omnistereoscopic imagery for human viewing are not suitable to capture dynamic scenes stereoscopically. This is a not trivial problem when considering acquiring the entire scene at once while avoiding self-occlusion between multiple cameras. In this thesis, the term omnidirectional refers to all possible gazing directions in azimuth and a limited set of directions in elevation. The acquisition of dynamic scenes restricts the problem to those techniques suitable for collecting in one simultaneous exposure all the necessary visual information to recreate stereoscopic imagery in arbitrary gazing directions. The analysis of the problem starts by defining an omnistereoscopic viewing model for the physical magnitude to be measured by a panoramic image sensor intended to produce stereoscopic imagery for human viewing. Based on this model, a novel acquisition model is proposed, which is suitable to describe the omnistereoscopic techniques based on horizontal stereo. From this acquisition model, an acquisition method based on multiple cameras combined with the rendering by mosaicking of partially overlapped stereoscopic images is identified as a good candidate to produce omnistereoscopic imagery of dynamic scenes. Experimental acquisition and rendering tests were performed for different multiple-camera configurations. Furthermore, a mosaicking criterion between partially overlapped stereoscopic images based on the continuity of the perceived depth and the prediction of the location and magnitude of unwanted vertical disparities in the final stereoscopic panorama are two main contributions of this thesis. In addition, two novel omnistereoscopic acquisition and rendering techniques were introduced. The main contributions to this field are to propose a general model for the acquisition of omnistereoscopic imagery, to devise novel methods to produce omnistereoscopic imagery, and more importantly, to contribute to the awareness of the problem of acquiring dynamic scenes within the scope of omnistereoscopic research.
