Latest Patents
Primault holds a patent titled "Bone landmarks extraction by bone surface palpation using ball tip stylus for computer assisted surgery navigation." This patent describes a system that utilizes a ball tip stylus to assist in navigating during surgical procedures. The system employs at least one processor to identify the locations of fiducials on the stylus in images captured by tracking cameras. These cameras have overlapping fields of view that image the ball palpating the surface of a bone. The operations involved determine the locations of the center of the ball and define an offset-acquired surface of the bone. This is achieved by mathematically connecting the locations of the center of the ball. Furthermore, the system calculates local normal vectors to the offset-acquired surface and translates it toward the bone surface based on the radius of the ball, ultimately defining an acquired surface of the bone.
