Application of Structure-from-Motion 3D Reconstruction in Computer-Guided Surgical Training

The following paper presents the effects of work on evaluating application of structure-from-motion 3D reconstruction algorithms to the purpose of computer-guided surgical training. In the paper a system for laparoscopic surgery training is presented. The key part of the system is a novel approach to training, where a 3D model of the operating fields serves as a base of the interaction between the trainee and the system. Outline of the 3D processing pipeline is presented, results are shown and discussed.
