  • Combined surface reconstruction and registration for laparoscopic surgery
    Patent number: 9129422
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of performing a combined surface reconstruction and registration of stereo laparoscopic images includes a computer system generating an intraoperative three-dimensional model of an anatomical area of interest and receiving a plurality of stereo endoscopic images of the anatomical area of interest from a laparoscope. The computer system performs a first stereo reconstruction process using the stereo endoscopic images to yield a first surface image corresponding to the anatomical area of interest and aligns the first surface image with a surface of the intraoperative three-dimensional model using a rigid registration process.
