Image Based Robot Guidance
19 Aug 20
A method and system provide two light beams which intersect at a remote center of motion (RCM) of a robot having an end-effector at a distal end thereof; capture images of a planned entry point and a planned path through the RCM; register the captured images to three-dimensional pre-operative images; define an entry point and path for the RCM in the captured images using the light beams; detect and track in the captured images a reference object having a known shape; in response to information about the entry point, the path, and the reference object, compute robot joint motion parameters to align the end-effector to the planned entry point and planned path; and communicate the computed robot joint motion parameters to the robot to align the end-effector to the planned entry point and the planned path.

Image Processing for Improved Marker Positioning on a Line-shaped Image Feature
12 Aug 20
An image processing device (400), comprising an image input interface (402) configured to receive input pixel values allocated to pixels in a two-dimensional pixel grid, a marker input interface (404) configured to receive marker position data indicative of a position of a marker within the pixel grid, and a marker position refining unit (406) configured to identify, using the pixel data and the marker position data, a target pixel having a highest symmetry value, i.e. identification value, which has been determined based on weighed symmetry values of the pixels within a search region that includes the marker position, and to determine a refined marker position data as the position data of the target pixel.
