Summary:

The goal of this thesis consit to optain, by dint of a virtual simulator, a childbirth formation tool for the young obstetrician.This simulator essensitially care in the case of the instruments childbirth formation (utilization of forceps) because of the large enhancement of the lesion risk for the child.
There is a colabaration between the LIRIS and the Ampère labaratory which work in the conception of a haptique simulator (« BIRTHSIM ») since few years.
This thesis has also a scientific interest because we'll have to modelise in three dimensions the woman pelvis and the fetus. Visualization of this 3D modélisation will alloy to have a better understanding of the engendred stress at the moment of the childbirth for the obstetricians.
The final goal of this thesis consist to acquire the total stress of the fetus forcesin order to apply it on the BIRTHSIM, and also realize a link between virtual and physic simulator.
