  • Mesh extraction from the anatomical surface using spherical harmonics and geodesics.
  • Solving Laplace's equation to generate a mapping from anatomical to sensor surface.

    • Main Results:

    • The methods successfully registered electrode plaque landmarks to the heart surface.
    • A quasi-evenly spaced grid was formed on the anatomical surface based on registered landmarks.
    • The second method generated a mapping from the anatomical surface to the electrode plaque surface.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed registration methods offer a robust approach for integrating sensor data with anatomical imaging.
    • Spherical harmonics and geodesic calculations are effective tools for complex anatomical surface registration.
    • These techniques have potential applications in real-time medical monitoring and image-guided procedures.
