Abstract
Highspeed Biplanar Videoradiography (HSBV) permits recording of 3D bone movements with sub-millimeter precision. 2D-3D registrations are performed to quantify bone movements, providing a series of affine transformation matrices (ATMs). These registrations may result in alignment errors that produce inaccurate kinematics. Smoothing techniques can be applied to the ATMs to reduce these inaccuracies. Which techniques are best for this application remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of six smoothing techniques on ATMs obtained from HSBV. Performance was assessed by measuring the accuracy of three reference finite helical axis (rFHA) measures during a turntable rotation: orientation, dispersion, and rotation speed difference (RSD = rFHA RS-turntable RS). A 3D printed femur and tibia were mounted to the turntable and rotations recorded with HSBV. The rFHA was calculated for the bones using each smoothing technique and ranked using a Friedman test. The relative percent change to the unsmoothed data was reported. A spline filter with outlier removal (SPOUT) was ranked the best technique, producing the most accurate RSDs for the femur (-79.64%) and tibia (-70.59%). SPOUT was the top performing smoothing technique. Further investigations using SPOUT are required for in-vivo human movements.
