LARK: A Low-Cost, Accurate, Occlusion-Resilient, Kalman Filter-Assisted Tracking System for Image-Guided Surgery
Image-guided surgery (IGS) depends on accurate tracking of surgical instruments to provide real-time navigation relative to anatomical structures. Commercial stereo infrared trackers are accurate but prone to occlusion and cost-prohibitive for many settings. This work presents LARK, a multi-camera optical tracking syst...
