Penile curvature, especially in cases of hypospadias, presentssignificant challenges for surgeons and researchers. The current methods of PC evaluation suffer from subjectivity and low agreement among different observers. Traditional techniques such as visual inspection and goniometer-based measurements lack reproducibility and consistency. Moreover, the time-sensitive nature of PC measurement during surgery further complicates the process, demanding real-time and precise quantification.

AccuCurve capitalizes on the power of AI and deep learning algorithms to automate PC measurements. Our framework comprises three stages: automatic penile area localization, shaft segmentation, and curvature angle estimation. By training a Yolov5 model, AccuCurve accurately crops the penile area from images. It then employs a Unet-based segmentation model to effectively segment the penile shaft. The final step involves a custom Hough-Transform-based angle estimation technique, yielding highly accurate PC measurements.

MOBILE APPLICATION :

Additionally, the inventors have developed a mobile application that further enhances their innovative approach to addressing penile curvature. This cutting-edge application empowers users to conveniently capture an image of a curved penis and utilize the app's advanced algorithms to obtain an accurate assessment of the penile curvature.

By leveraging the power of computer vision and sophisticated analysis, this mobile application offers individuals a user- friendly and discreet solution to evaluate the severity of their penile curvature. Users can simply take a photograph of their erect penis using the app's intuitive interface, allowing the advanced algorithms to analyze the image and provide valuable insights into the degree of curvature.

This revolutionary technology not only promotes self-awareness and understanding of penile curvature but also encourages proactive engagement with healthcare professionals. With the comprehensive assessment provided by the application, users can gain a clearer understanding of their condition, enabling more informed discussions with medical experts and potentially facilitating timely interventions or treatment options.

The inventors' commitment to leveraging modern technology and medical expertise showcases their dedication to revolutionizing penile curvature assessment and management. Their groundbreaking device, coupled with the innovative mobile application, promises to empower individuals in a discreet and accessible manner, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes and an enhanced quality of life.
