This project aims to develop surgical tracking technology that is accurate, robust against environmental disturbances, and does not require line-of-sight. The current approach is to combine electromagnetic and inertial sensing. Sensor fusion methods are proposed for a hybrid tracking system that incorporates a miniature inertial measurement unit and an electromagnetic navigation system, in order to obtain continuous position and orientation information, even in the presence of metal objects.<br \/>\nAdditional information at <a href=\"http:\/\/smarts.lcsr.jhu.edu\/dokuwiki\/doku.php?id=research#hybridsurgicaltrackingsystem\"> [SMARTS Lab of Johns Hopkins University] <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collaborators: ERC-CISST, LCSR Lab of Johns Hopkins University, USA Fraunhofer Germany (FhG) Laparoscopic surgery poses a challenging problem for a real-time intra-body navigation system: how to keep tracking the surgical instruments inside the human body intra-operatively.
