Abstract

We present technology that uses a computer-generated 3-D image inserted in real-time endoscopic view. The generated image represents the safe zone, the area in which the tip of the surgical tool should stay during operation. Movements of tools can be tracked using existing techniques of surgical tools navigation based on tracking fiduciary markers. We describe a spatial measurement system and explain the process of virtual zone creation, challenges related to the accuracy of the augmented reality system and calibration process that can be improved by machine learning techniques. We discuss possible future usage of this system in telesurgery both on the ground and in space.
