Visual Tracking in Conventional Minimally Invasive Surgery
introduces the various tools and methodologies that can be used to
enhance a conventional surgical setup with some degree of
automation. The main focus of this book is on methods for tracking
surgical tools and how they can be used to assist the surgeon
during the surgical operation. Various notions associated with
surgeon-computer interfaces and image-guided navigation are
explored, with a range of experimental results. The book starts
with some basic motivations for minimally invasive surgery and
states the various distinctions between robotic and non-robotic
(conventional) versions of this procedure. Common components of
this type of operation are presented with a review of the
literature addressing the automation aspects of such a setup.
Examples of tracking results are shown for both motion and gesture
recognition of surgical tools, which can be used as part of the
surgeon-computer interface. In the case of marker-less tracking,
where no special visual markers can be added to the surgical tools,
the tracking results are divided into two types of methodology,
depending on the nature and the estimate of the visual noise.
Details of the tracking methods are presented using standard Kalman
filters and particle filters. The last part of the book provides
approaches for tracking a region on the surgical scene defined by
the surgeon. Examples of how these tracking approaches can be used
as part of image-guided navigation are demonstrated. This book is
designed for control engineers interested in visual tracking,
computer vision researchers and system designers involved with
surgical automation, as well as surgeons, biomedical engineers, and
robotic researchers.
This book examines the signal processing perspective in haptic
teleoperation systems. This text covers the topics of prediction,
estimation, architecture, data compression and error correction
that can be applied to haptic teleoperation systems. The authors
begin with an overview of haptic teleoperation systems, then look
at a Bayesian approach to haptic teleoperation systems. They move
onto a discussion of haptic data compression, haptic data
digitization and forward error correction.

Within the past twenty years, the field of robotics has been
finding many areas of applications ranging from space to underwater
explo rations. One of these areas which is slowly gaining
popularity among the users group is the notion of service robotics.
This book is an in vestigation and exploration of engineering
principles in the design and development of mechanisms and robotic
devices that can be used in the field of surgery. Specifically the
results of this book can be used for designing tools for class of
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Generally, Minimal Invasive
Surgery (MIS), e. g. laparoscopic surgery, is performed by using
long surgical tools, that are inserted through small incisions at
the ports of entry to the body (e. g. abdominal wall) for reaching
the surgical site. The main drawback of current designs of en
doscopic tools is that they are not able to extend all the
movements and sensory capabilities of the surgeon's hand to the
surgical site. By im proving surgical procedures, training, and
more practice, it is possible for surgeons to reduce completion
time for each task and increase their level of skill. However, even
in the best cases the level of performance of a surgeon in
Minimally Invasive Surgery is still a fraction of the con ventional
surgery. Any dramatically improvement is usually driven by
introduction of new tools or systems that in turn bring totally new
pro cedures and set of skills.
