Original Abstract

The fundamental of the described project is an optical position sensing of ultrasound probe in 3D echocardiology, well known as Free-hand system. The project is dealing with multi-camera system, where the probe localization is performed based on different views from the cameras, which are following it (some corresponding marks mounted on the ultrasound probe). The camera calibration and the resolution of the system are evaluated for the specific geometric arrangement as well as the marker recognition algorithm is described. The described system is an alternative solution to magnetic systems with higher length accuracy, eliminating its disadvantages as e.g. sensitivity on electric conducting materials around.
