Abstract: A camera tracking system for computer assisted navigation during surgery. Operations identify stray markers in a frame of tracking data from tracking cameras, and identify stray markers of a reference array. Stray markers of the reference array are designated assigned status and, otherwise, designated unknown status. The operations designate other of the assigned status stray markers and any of the unknown status stray markers along a same epipolar line of the tracking cameras as one of the assigned status stray markers as being epipolar ambiguous status. For each one of the epipolar ambiguous status stray markers, the operations estimate 3D locations where phantom markers can appear in the frame based on epipolar ambiguity of the tracking cameras when determining location of the one of the epipolar ambiguous status stray markers. The operations designate the unknown status stray markers within a threshold distance of the estimated 3D locations of phantom markers as being phantom status.

Abstract: A navigated surgery system includes at least one processor that is operative to obtain a 2D medical image slice of anatomical structure of a patient. The operations further obtain a 3D graphical model of anatomical structure. The operations determine a pose of a virtual cross-sectional plane extending through the 3D graphical model of the anatomical structure that corresponds to the anatomical structure of the 2D medical image slice. The operations control the XR headset to display the 2D medical image slice of the anatomical structure of the patient, display the 3D graphical model of the anatomical structure, and display a graphical object oriented with the pose relative to the 3D graphical model of the anatomical structure.
