Abstract:
The rapid development of available hard- and soft-ware for computer-assisted or augmented reality (AR) guidedinterventions creates a need for fast and inexpensive prototyp-ing environments. However, intraoperative tracking systems inparticular represent a high cost threshold. Therefore, this workpresents a low-cost tracking method based on a conventionalRGB camera. Here, a combined approach of multiple imagetargets and 3D object target recognition is implemented. Thesystem is evaluated with a systematic accuracy assessment an-alyzing a total of3853D positions. On average, a deviationof15.69±9.95𝑚𝑚was measured. In addition, a prototyp-ical AR-based needle navigation visualization was developedusing Microsoft HoloLens 2. This system’s feasibility and us-ability was evaluated positively in a pilot study (n=3).
