Robust Real-time Localization of Surgical Instruments in the Eye Sugery Simulator (eyesi)

چکیده
In this paper we propose a real-time solution to localize the surgical instruments in an eye surgery simulator, EyeSi. The hardware consists of three synchronized cameras that capture the movements of the instruments, and an FPGA card for grabbing and preprocessing the images. The surgical instruments are localized using the method of Hough transform combined with the technique of stereo vision. The proposed method is robust to noise and low quality camera images. A fast algorithm of voting in Hough transform is also proposed.

Introduction “Blink” is defined as closing and opening of the eyes in a small duration of time. In this study, we aimed to introduce a fast, robust, vision-based approach for blink detection. Materials and Methods This approach consists of two steps. In the first step, the subject’s face is localized every second and with the first blink, the system detects the eye’s location and creates an ope...
