Student Project (Systementwicklungsprojekt)

The goal of this project is to map (i.e. register) a geometric model of a medical instrument, in our case a pair of scissors onto a real instrument the is tracked using an external tracking system. This problem is also known as "hand-eye-coordination" in robotics.

The main focus lies on providing easy mechanisms to calculate this registration, which is in fact a simple coordinate system transform. In our special case we can use the fact that our instrument consists of two legs that can be moved in a special way due to the single joint in the middle. This point and the angle between the two legs define a plane and a point, which can be used to determine the location of the markers in the object coordiate system without manually measuring their position.
