Abstract
In this paper, the three-dimensional geometry of the human cochlea is modeled by the helico-spiral seashell model. The 3-D helico-spiral model, the generalized representation of the Archimedian spiral model, provides a framework for measuring cochlear features based on consistent estimation of model parameters. Nonlinear least square minimization based algorithms are developed for the identification of rotation, center and intrinsic parameters of the helico-spiral representation. Two algorithms are designed for the rotation axis aligned to the modiolar axis: one is more susceptible in the presence of noise, while the other allows applicability to two-dimensional data sets. The estimated center and intrinsic parameters allow the calculation of length, height and angular positions needed for frequency mapping of multichannel cochlear implant electrodes. Model performance is evaluated with numerically synthesized curves with different levels of added random noise, histologic data and real human cochlear spiral computed tomography data.Keywords
