Preview Our Data!
August 12, 2010
We are very excited to announce that the preview of our bone database is now online!
As you know, we have been scanning human bone samples for the past few months. We are now working on the infrastructure to make this data available for download. However, we wanted to give you a taste of what we have achieved. Currently, we have two mostly complete bodies scanned (awkwardly named "box171" and "SkeletonBox19") and we are beginning work on the third one! There is also a set of about eight isolated tibia bones.
Click here or on the "Data Sets" link above to go there now!
As you can see, we've included with each scan the number of points comprising it and a bounding box. On average, most of our models have at least one million points. In fact, here are some statistics:
| Number of scans | Total point samples | |
| box171 | 174 | 449,130,596 |
| SkeletonBox19 | 176 | 416,087,933 |
| SkeletonJ-19 | 10 so far | 9,645,398 so far |
| Tibia samples | 8 so far | 56,487,265 so far |
As well as working on the download framework, we are verifying all the data, selecting a consistent, more correct naming scheme, and generating surface meshes at various scales for further processing.
