Abstract
Systems and methods for calibration of a surgical tool having a tracker. At least one camera captures images of the tracker at a first exposure and captures images of the surgical tool at a second exposure with a different exposure time and/or illumination than the first exposure. Controller(s) recognize a pose of the tracker based on the first exposure images and recognize a geometry of the surgical tool based on the second exposure images. The controller(s) correlate the recognized pose of the tracker and the recognized geometry of the surgical tool to define a relationship between the tracker and the surgical tool and calibrate the surgical tool based on the defined relationship.
