Definitions
- the invention relates to a medical-technical radiation-based coordinate measuring device, comprising a first image sensor unit and a second image sensor unit for providing a first brightness image data set or a second brightness image data set and a data processing unit for determining the object coordinates of object images in space by means of electromagnetic radiation by triangulation from the brightness image data sets.
- the invention relates to a medical radiation-based coordinate measuring method using such a coordinate measuring device.
- a coordinate measuring device of the type mentioned is used for example during a navigation-assisted surgical procedure.
- the goal is to determine the coordinates (position) and the orientation of object points to each other. Depending on the time, changes in the coordinates and the orientation can be determined and thus the object points in the room can be tracked (tracked).
- the marking device has luminescent or reflective marking elements, which can be detected and tracked particularly well by the coordinate measuring device.
- Such tracking methods prove themselves in practice, but the requirements for the images of the marking elements are not inconsiderable, and there is a restriction to a comparatively small number of object points.
- a respective direction to object points can be determined on the basis of a respective brightness image data set comprising brightness or intensity information.
- spatial forward cut the two directions are superimposed in triangulation in order to determine the position of the object point in space.
- image sensor units have a comparatively high resolution, ambiguities in the interpretation of the position of the object points can occur (so-called "ghost points").
- the use of stereo coordinate measuring devices is limited without the use of marking devices which have redundant marking elements to remedy the above-mentioned problem.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a generic coordinate measuring device and a coordinate measuring method with which a more reliable determination of the object coordinates is possible.
- the coordinate measuring device comprises at least one distance measuring unit for the object points for providing at least one distance data set, and that the data processing unit is designed and programmed such that it is before the Trian Gulation at least the first brightness image data set on the basis of a distance data set adds a distance information.
- the invention incorporates the consideration that ambiguities in the determination of the coordinates of the object points can be avoided and the accuracy can be increased if additional information is provided in addition to the brightness image data sets.
- at least one distance data record is provided by means of at least one distance measuring unit.
- the data processing unit can supplement at least the first brightness image data set and expand it by a spatial depth information.
- the original first brightness image data set contains with high accuracy an indication of the respective direction of object points starting from the first image sensor unit. Due to the additional distance information from the at least one distance data set, the position of the object point can already be approximately determined. In particular, ambiguities can be ruled out before they occur.
- the first brightness image data set allows to avoid any restrictions on the significance of the distance data set and to preclude erroneous determinations of the object points before they arise. In the case of a distance measurement, restrictions can arise with resulting measurement errors in the case of edge progressions, which can be remedied by the additional information of the first brightness image data record.
- the at least one distance unit can preferably be located in be positioned finely spatial relationship with the image sensor units. Based on the relative orientation, it is possible for the data processing unit to associate image areas in the brightness image data sets with each other or to associate image areas in the brightness image data sets with an area in the distance data set.
- the data processing unit is designed and programmed such that it adds distance information to the second brightness image data record based on a distance data record before triangulation.
- the data processing unit can expand the second brightness image data record by the additional distance information.
- For the object points there are respective direction vectors as well as information about their lengths, based on a respective brightness image data set, extended by a distance information. The accuracy of the determination of the position of the object points can be increased thereby.
- the data processing unit is designed and programmed in such a way that it triangulates the first brightness image data set supplemented by the distance information with the second brightness image data set.
- the at least one distance measuring unit is or comprises a time-of-flight (TOF) measuring unit which generates the distance data record on the basis of a light transit time method.
- the TOF measuring unit comprises, for example, a PMD sensor (Photonic Mixing Device) which provides at least distance information via a distance data record.
- the distance information comes from a transit time measurement for light, which is used to illuminate the object points, reflected by them and detected by the PMD sensor.
- the distance of an object point to the PMD sensor is proportional to the transit time of the light, so that the distance information can be created on the basis of the transit time.
- the TOF measuring unit may, in particular via the PMD sensor, provide a brightness image data set in addition to the distance data set. This will be discussed below.
- the time-of-flight (TOF) measuring unit preferably has a lighting unit for illuminating the object points with light of a spectral range that differs from a spectral range to which the image sensor units are sensitive.

- the illumination unit By means of the illumination unit, light of a certain spectral range can be emitted, which is detected by the PMD sensor after reflection on the object.
- the use of a different spectral range in the image sensor units offers the advantage that the TOF measuring unit is not disturbed by any illumination for the image sensor units and they are not disturbed by the light of the lighting unit. The accuracy of the measurements in the image data sets and in the distance data set can thereby be increased.

- the coordinate measuring device can make do with only two units, namely it suffices a combined image sensor distance measuring unit and a further unit, which provides at least one further brightness image data set.
- the coordinate measuring device comprises two combined image sensor distance measuring units, which in particular form time-of-flight (TOF) measuring units, and that the respective distance information is added to the respective brightness image data record on the basis of the respective distance data set .
- the triangulation can be based on data sets of two distance measuring units and in particular TOF measuring units with a respective distance data record and a respective brightness image data set. These are provided, for example, by PMD sensors. A separate distance measuring unit can be saved.
- the data processing unit may be designed and programmed in such a way that it identifies pixels in the brightness image data record of the combined image sensor distance measuring unit with pixels in the brightness image data record of the second image sensor unit. Images of object points can thereby be detected and assigned to each other via a brightness analysis of a respective brightness image data set of the image sensor units and the brightness image data set of the distance measuring unit.

- Distance information is added to the second brightness image data set in addition to the direction information from the directional vectors 44, 46 as their length (FIG. n) flows into the second image data set.
- the distances of the object points 12, 22 can be determined by the data processing unit 38 from the distance data set with the distance vectors 56, 58 and on the basis of the relative position of the TOF measuring unit 50 and the second image sensor unit 32.
- the data processing unit 38 can identify the pixels of the object points 12, 22 in the brightness image data set with pixels of the object points 12, 22 in the image data records. This allows for redundant information create, so that an assignment of the distance data set to the brightness image data sets is facilitated.
- the data processing unit 38 determines the coordinates of the object points 12, 22 in space by triangulation. Since the respective brightness image data sets are supplemented by the distance information from the distance data set, a substantially more accurate determination of the object points 12, 22 can take place than with conventional coordinate measuring devices. Ambiguities, such as Ghost Points, which can occur with conventional stereo camera systems, are largely avoidable even before triangulation.
- the coordinate measuring apparatus 10 comprises a memory unit 60, which may be integrated in the data processing unit 38.
- the memory unit 60 features for observable object points may be stored.
- the geometry of the marking device can be stored with the relative positions of the marking elements to one another.
- the memory unit 60 includes features about the anatomy of the patient, especially about the body part 20.
- the data processing unit 38 can use the features stored in the memory unit 60 to identify the images of the object points in the image data records and in the distance data record. Depending on the time, the characteristics can be taken into account when tracking the object points.
- FIG. 2 shows a coordinate measuring device according to the invention with the reference numeral 70 for carrying out a method according to the invention.
- the reference numeral 70 for carrying out a method according to the invention.
- identical reference numerals are used for identical or equivalent features and components of the coordinate measuring devices 10 and 70.
- the coordinate measuring device 70 differs from the coordinate measuring device 10 in that combined image sensor distance measuring units 72, 74 are provided instead of the image sensor units 30, 32 providing only brightness image data records. These form, in particular, time-of-flight (TOF) measuring units 76, 78 with PMD sensors 80, 82. The TOF measuring unit 50 is omitted.
- TOF time-of-flight
- the combined image sensor distance measuring units 72, 74 are designed in such a way that a brightness image data record and a distance data set can be provided in each case via the PMD sensors 80 and 82.
- the data records are supplied to the data processing unit 38.
- the brightness image data set and the distance data set of a respective combined unit 72, 74 can be evaluated by the data processing unit 38. It is possible to add the distance information from the corresponding distance data set to each brightness image data record in order to provide a respective three-dimensional data record.
- a direction vector 40, 44 or 42, 46 and at the same time the associated distance vector can be determined, ie. H. the length of the direction vectors.
- FIG. 3 shows a coordinate measuring device according to the invention with the reference numeral 90 for carrying out a method according to the invention.
- identical reference numerals are used for identical or equivalent features and components of the coordinate measuring devices 10, 70 and 90 identical reference numerals.
- the coordinate measuring apparatus 90 employs the combined image sensor pitch measuring unit 72 that forms the TOF measuring unit 76 with the PMD sensor 80. This provides both a brightness image data set and a distance image data set, which can be transmitted to the data processing unit 38, as with the coordinate measuring device 70.
- the data processing unit 38 may add the distance information to the brightness image data set and create a three-dimensional data record. In addition to the information about the direction vectors 40, 42 to the object points 14, 22 in this way a distance vector, i. h the length of a respective direction vector. Ambiguities can be avoided even before triangulation.
- the image sensor unit 32 having the image sensor 36 is used.
- the data processing unit 38 can determine the direction vectors 44, 46 relative to the object points 14, 22.
- the coordinates of the object points 12, 22 in space can be determined more accurately than is the case with a conventional coordinate measuring device.
- FIG. 4 shows schematically how a camera system 100, which may comprise a plurality of cameras 102, can be calibrated.
- the cameras 102 may be freely positionable.
- five cameras 102 which may correspond to the image sensor units 30, 32, the TOF measuring unit 50 or the combined image sensor distance measuring units 72, 74.
- FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a respective imaging center 104 and an image plane 106 of a camera 102, as well as an object 108 having a plurality of object points 110.
- the data processing unit knows the relative orientation of the object points 110.
- This additional information is stored in the storage unit.
- the measurements from the image data can be assigned to the object points 110.
- a distance information of the object point can also be taken into account as described above.
- the respective image data of the cameras 102 can be simultaneously processed by the data processing unit.
- the image beams 112, 114 of a respective object point 110 intersect at the same point. In this way, the imaging property of the camera system 100 can be determined, in particular the relative orientation of the cameras 102 and the orientation of the cameras 102 to the object 108.
