Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies

The increasing and rapidly evolving role of 2D and 3D vision in biomedical science and technology is herein presented, based on the experience of our Laboratory and of its start-ups in recent years. Applications to ophthalmology, dentistry, forensic science and prosthetic technology are discussed.
