Depth Camera Calibration and Knife Tip Position Estimation for Liver Surgery Support System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a liver surgery support system that uses two depth cameras and measures positional relationships between a surgical knife and a liver in real time. In this report, the overview of our system, the method for depth camera calibration, the estimation for knife tip positioning, and some experimental results are described.

Calibration of a Camera-Based Guidance Solution for Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery
In orthopedic and trauma surgery, fracture reduction usually requires the use of metallic plates and their fixation by means of screws. The employment of guidance solutions during surgical procedures has become of great importance during the last decades. Our guidance solution exploits a small video camera placed directly on the instrument, for example a drill, and a set of small markers placed...
متن کاملCamera Arrangement in Visual 3D Systems using Iso-disparity Model to Enhance Depth Estimation Accuracy
In this paper we address the problem of automatic arrangement of cameras in a 3D system to enhance the performance of depth acquisition procedure. Lacking ground truth or a priori information, a measure of uncertainty is required to assess the quality of reconstruction. The mathematical model of iso-disparity surfaces provides an efficient way to estimate the depth estimation uncertainty which ...
متن کاملGHand: A GPU Algorithm for Realtime Hand Pose Estimation Using Depth Camera
We present GHand, a GPU algorithm for markerless hand pose estimation from a single depth image obtained from a commodity depth camera. Our method uses a dual random forest approach: the first forest estimates position and orientation of hand in 3D, while the second forest determines the joint angles of the kinematic chain of our hand model. GHand runs entirely on GPU, at a speed of 64 FPS with...
متن کاملCalibration of Depth Camera Arrays
Depth cameras are increasingly used for tasks such as 3-D reconstruction, user pose estimation, and humancomputer interaction. Depth-camera systems comprising multiple depth sensors require careful calibration. In addition to conventional 2-D camera calibration, depth correction for each individual device is necessary. In this paper, we present a new way of solving the multi depth-camera calibr...
متن کاملCamera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images
In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...
