Abstract

This paper presents a flexible, vision-based test setup to perform 3D measurements of thin, sheet-like structures and indentation trials to obtain geometric properties and stiffness maps of biological soft tissues. The system is utilized for in vitro testing of cartilage-bone plugs to acquire a "gold standard" which will be used to validate MRI measurements of cartilage properties.
