TrEndo, a device for tracking minimally invasive surgical instruments in training setups
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel, four degrees of freedom, low-cost device for tracking minimally invasive surgical instruments (MIS) in training setups was developed. This device consists of a gimbal mechanism with three optical computer mouse sensors. The gimbal guides the MIS instrument, while optical sensors measure the movements of the instrument. To test the feasibility of using optical mouse sensors to track MIS instruments, the accuracy of these sensors was tested depending on three conditions: distance between lens and object, velocity of movements, and surface characteristics. The results of this study were used for developing a prototype—TrEndo.

Visual Instrument Guidance in Minimally Invasive Robot Surgery
Surgical tool tracking is an important key functionality for many high-level tasks such as the visual guidance of surgical instruments or automated camera control. Readings from robot encoders and the kinematic chain are usually error prone in this kind of complex setup, but still allow for a coarse pose estimation of the instruments in image space. This information can be utilized to (re-)init...
