The book takes a step-by-step approach to designing and developing various tools for surgeon computer interfaces using the conventional surgical set-up. Tracking of surgical tools is defined as the key component for developing such interfaces. Using a theoretical basis, the book presents practical implementation for developing visual tracking of surgical tools. It also shows how such tracking results can be further integrated as a part of image guided, surgical navigation. It offers designers of such tracking systems a number of methodologies which can be explored and synthesized for various stages of the surgical automation process.
Visual Tracking in Conventional Minimally Invasive Surgery introduces the various tools and methodologies that can be used to enhance a conventional surgical setup with some degree of automation. The main focus of this book is on methods for tracking surgical tools and how they can be used to assist the surgeon during the surgical operation. Various notions associated with surgeoncomputer interfaces and image-guided navigation are explored, with a range of experimental results.
The book starts with some basic motivations for minimally invasive surgery and states the various distinctions between robotic and non-robotic (conventional) versions of this procedure. Common components of this type of operation are presented with a review of the literature addressing the automation aspects of such a setup. Examples of tracking results are shown for both motion and gesture recognition of surgical tools, which can be used as part of the surgeoncomputer interface. In the case of marker-less tracking, where no special visual markers can be added to the surgical tools, the tracking results are divided into two types of methodology, depending on the nature and the estimate of the visual noise. Details of the tracking methods are presented using standard Kalman filters and particle filters.
The last part of the book provides approaches for tracking a region on the surgical scene defined by the surgeon. Examples of how these tracking approaches can be used as part of image-guided navigation are demonstrated. This book is designed for control engineers interested in visual tracking, computer vision researchers and system designers involved with surgical automation, as well as surgeons, biomedical engineers, and robotic researchers.
