Publication number: 20240074817Abstract: A method for tracking a surgical robotic tool being viewed by an endoscopic camera, images of the surgical tool are received from the endoscopic camera and surgical tool joint angle measurements are received from the surgical tool. Predetermined features of the surgical tool on the images of the surgical tool are detected to define an observation model to be employed by a Bayesian Filter. A lumped error transform and observable joint angle measurement errors are estimated using the Bayesian Filter. The lumped error transform compensates for errors in a base-to-camera transform and non-observable joint angle measurement errors. Pose information over time of the surgical tool is determined with respect to the endoscopic camera using kinematic information of the robotic tool, the surgical tool joint angle measurements, the lumped error transform and the observable joint angle measurement errors. The pose information is provided to a surgical application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Florian RICHTER, Michael YIP, Yang LI
