Abstract

New surgical navigation techniques incorporate the use of live surgical endoscope video with 3D reconstructed MRI or CT images of a patient's anatomy. This image-enhanced endoscopy requires calibration of the endoscope to accurately the register the real endoscope video to the virtual image. The calibration and accuracy testing of such a system and a simple yet effective linear method for lens-distortion compensation are described.
