چکیده

We study the effect of anisotropic noise on target registration error (TRE) by using a tracked and calibrated stylus tip as the fiducial registration application. We present a simple, efficient unscented Kalman filter algorithm that is suitable for fiducial registration even with a small number of fiducials. We also derive an equation that predicts TRE under anisotropic noise. The predicted TRE values are shown to closely match the simulated TRE values achieved using our UKF-based algorithm.

A Theoretical Comparison of Different Target Registration Error Estimators

Estimation of target registration error (TRE), a common measure of the registration accuracy, is an important issue in computer assisted surgeries. Within the last decade, several new approaches have been developed to estimate either the mean squared value of TRE or the distribution of TRE under different noise conditions. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that all the proposed algori...

"Worst-case analysis of target localization errors in fiducial based rigid body registration"

Fiducial-based rigid registration is the preferred method for aligning the preoperative image with the intra-operative physical anatomy in existing image-guided surgery systems. After registration, the targets locations usually cannot be measured directly, so the Target Registration Error (TRE) is often estimated with the Fiducial Registration Error (FRE), or with Fitzpatrick TRE (FTRE) estimat...

General approach to error prediction in point registration

A method for the first-order analysis of the point registration problem is presented and validated. The method is a unified approach to the problem that allows for inhomogeneous and anisotropic fiducial localization error (FLE) and arbitrary weighting in the registration algorithm. Cross-covariance matrices are derived both for target registration error (TRE) and for weighted fiducial registrat...

Optimal landmarks selection and fiducial marker placement for minimal target registration error in image-guided neurosurgery

We describe a new framework and method for the optimal selection of anatomical landmarks and optimal placement of fiducial markers in image-guided neurosurgery. The method allows the surgeon to optimally plan the markers locations on routine diagnostic images before preoperative imaging and to intraoperatively select the fiducial markers and the anatomical landmarks that minimize the Target Reg...

Analytic Expressions for Fiducial and Surface Target Registration Error

We propose and test analytic equations for approximating expected fiducial and surface target registration error (TRE). The equations are derived from a spatial stiffness model of registration. The fiducial TRE equation is equivalent to one presented by. We believe that the surface TRE equation is novel, and we provide evidence from computer simulations to support the accuracy of the approximat...
