Claim 11:
12. An automated osteoplastic surgical method, the method implemented by one or more computing devices and comprising:
receiving a target bone model of a bone having desired morphological characteristics;
receiving a patient bone model representing a patient bone, wherein the patient bone corresponds to the target bone model and the target bone model comprises an anatomical origin comparable to the patient bone;
partitioning the patient bone model and the target bone model into first and second pluralities of segments, respectively;
registering the patient bone model to the target bone model by matching one or more segments of the first plurality of segments partitioned from the patient bone model comprising a registration area free of a morphological deviation to one or more segments of the second plurality of segments partitioned from the target bone model;
determining, based on the patient bone model as registered to the target bone model, a region of the patient bone model that comprises a morphological deviation from the target bone model based on a degree of disconformity between the region of the patient bone model and a corresponding region of the target bone model, wherein the degree of disconformity is based on a volumetric difference between the region of the patient bone model and the corresponding region of the target bone model;
determining an amount of the patient bone to be removed based on the degree of disconformity for the patient bone to achieve the desired morphological characteristics of the target bone model;
displaying, via an interface, visual indicia on the patient bone model, wherein the visual indicia indicate the region comprising the morphological deviation and the amount of bone to be removed; and
guiding a surgical tool to alter the morphological deviation based on the determined amount of the patient bone to be removed.
