Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Computer Vision
  • Surgical Robotics

Background:

  • Accurate surgical instrument tracking is vital for clinical operations.
  • Traditional positioning systems face challenges like camera/marker occlusion and environmental interference.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust distributed visual positioning system for surgical instrument tracking.
  • To enhance the accuracy and reliability of instrument localization during surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Designed a unique marker pattern with a triangular grid and dot for improved feature detection and identification.
  • Implemented a multi-Perspective-n-Point (mPnP) method for fusing multi-camera data.
  • Utilized dynamic or static Kalman filtering based on instrument motion state for jitter reduction.

Main Results:

  • The proposed system demonstrated a positioning error below 0.207 mm.
  • The system achieved a processing time under 118.842 ms.
  • Comparative experiments showed lower reprojection error than mainstream algorithms.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system offers accurate and reliable surgical instrument positioning.
  • This technology has significant potential to improve surgical efficiency and patient safety.
