Visual Servoing for Automatic and Uncalibrated Needle Placement for Percutaneous Procedures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach to image-based guidance of a needle or surgical tool during percutaneous procedures. The method is based on visual servoing. It requires no prior calibration or registration. The technique provides highly precise 3D-alignment of the tool with respect to an anatomic target. By taking advantage of projective geometry and projective invariants, this can be achieved in a fixed number (12) of iterations. In addition the approach estimates the required insertion depth. Experiments include automatic 3D alignment and insertion of a needle held by a medical robot into a pig kidney under X-ray fluoroscopy.

Automatic Targeting Method and Accuracy Study in Robot Assisted Needle Procedures
We present an automatic needle targeting method for fluoroscopyguided percutaneous access procedures. The approach is derived from the manual needle superimposition technique making it intuitive and familiar to surgeons and radiologists. The proposed algorithm is insensitive to image distortion and does not require any C-Arm calibration or initial pose estimation. Needle alignment is performed ...
متن کاملVisual Torch Position Control Using Fuzzy-Servoing Controller for Arc Welding Process
In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-servoing controller method for automatic welding. The proposed method uses a vision based arc tracking to find the initial points of the weld seam and to track them without a prior knowledge. Due to a serious melt down in the weld pool during the welding process, the method requires to control the welding torch in two directions, up-down and left-right directio...
متن کاملTask Specification and Monitoring for Uncalibrated Hand/Eye Coordination
Most of the work in robotic manipulation and visual servoing has emphasized how to specify and perform particular tasks. Recent results have formally shown what tasks are possible with uncalibrated imaging systems. This paper extends those results by characterizing in a constructive manner the set of tasks which can be performed with diierent types of un-calibrated camera models. The tasks' res...
متن کاملEvolving Inverse Fuzzy Models for Uncalibrated Visual Servoing in 3D Workspace
In this paper, evolving inverse fuzzy models obtained online for uncalibrated visual servoing in 3D workspace, are developed and validated in a six degrees of freedom robotic manipulator. This approach will recursively update the inverse fuzzy model based only on measurements at a given time instant. The uncalibrated approach does not require calibrated kinematic and camera models, as needed in...
متن کاملAsymptotic Stability of Uncalibrated Eye-In-Hand Visual Servoing: An Affine Invariance Approach
In this paper, asymptotic stability of uncalibrated eye-in-hand visual servoing is proved in an affine invariance approach. After a brief retrospection on the uncalibrated eye-inhand visual servoing, the affine invariance framework is introduced with discussion in depth. Then the visual servoing algorithm is reconstructed in an affine invariance framework, or more precisely as an affine contrav...
