In order to solve the shortcomings of existing target tracking algorithms applied in MIS, this invention does some optimization based on TLST model and proposes a novel target tracking algorithm combined with KCF and region growing algorithm. Compared with the traditional TLST, our optimized multi-model TLST reduces the complexity of computation and has a better performance on dealing with singular point. Then, through combining KCF and region growing algorithm, the rigid surgical tool can be detected more accurately. Besides, this invention proposes a novel feature extraction which can be optionally used to do further examination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
