Abstract
En 中文
Laparoscopic vision-based ultrasound probe tracking systems have gained considerable attention in ultrasound guided laparoscopic surgeries as replacements for external tracking systems (e.g. optical tracking and electromagnetic tracking systems), which increase cost and setting time, require additional operation space, and introduce new limitations. Most existing laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) probe tracking systems rely on fiducial markers, which cannot easily realise fast and robust vision-based tracking in laparoscopic surgery owing to their design limitations. Therefore, we propose a novel binary dot array marker to realise a robust and fast LUS probe tracking system. The binary dot array marker comprises two dots (green and blue), which form multiple unique identification dot subarrays in the binary dot array. The binary dot array marker can be tracked when one of the identification dot subarrays is detected and identified; this novel design makes the binary dot array marker-based probe tracking system robust against occlusions during surgery. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed binary dot marker performs better in terms of robustness, computational efficiency, and tracking accuracy compared to the state-of-the-art fiducial markers used for vision-based probe tracking.
