Abstract: A high-speed optical tracking with compression and CMOS windowing for tracking applications that require high-speed and/or low latency when delivering pose (orientation and position) data. The high-speed optical tracking with compression and CMOS windowing generally includes an optical tracking system (10) that sense fiducial (22) and by extension markers (20). The markers can either be integrated on tools (20) handled by an operator (e.g. surgeon) (50) or fixed on the subject to track (e.g. patient) (40). The low-level processing (101, 107, 140) is realized within the tracking system to reduce the overall data to be transferred and considerably reduce the processing efforts. Pose data (127) are finally computed and transferred to a PC/monitor (30,31) or to tablet (60) to be used by an end-user application (130).
