Surgical Robotics Tool Tracking

ToolTrackingTesting

This project included the development of a computer vision based approach to tool and anatomy tracking for robotic surgery. Using stereoscopic vision and a sophisticated tracking algorithm, the system can track the tip of a da Vinci tool in 3-dimensional space. From this information, algorithms can be implemented to analyze motion metrics which help gauge surgical skill. The researcher for this project was Rod Dockter.
