Patent number: 11931141Abstract: A registration method whereby a sensor-based approach is used to establish initial registration and whereby upon the commencement of navigating an endoscope, image-based registration methods are used in order to more accurately maintain the registration between the endoscope location and previously-acquired images. A six-degree-of-freedom location sensor is placed on the probe in order to reduce the number of previously-acquired images that must be compared to a real-time image obtained from the endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Dorian Averbuch, Oded Zur, Oren P. Weingarten
