Abstract

Tracking surgical tools in mono-endoscopic surgery can offer a conventional (non-robotics) application of this type of procedure a versatile surgeon-computer interface. For example, tracking the surgical tools can enable the surgeon to interact with the overlaid menu which allows them to have access to medical information of the patient. Another example is the capability that such tracking can offer where the surgeon through surgical tool can manually register per-operative images of the patient approach on the surgical site. This paper presents the results of some of the tracking schemes which we have explored and analysed as a part of our studies. Tracking framework based on both Gaussian and non-Gaussian framework are explored and compared. Although majority of the approaches can offer a robust performance when used in the real surgical scene, the method based on Particle Filter is found to have a better success rate. Based on these experimental results, the paper also offers some discussions and suggestions for future research.
