Abstract
Surgical navigation systems and methods for tracking an object within an operating room involve a camera unit that houses a first stereoscopic sensing system and a second stereoscopic sensing system each comprising sensing elements adapted to sense light. A controller utilizes the first stereoscopic sensing system to sense light from the object and track the object according to a first resolution. The controller utilizes the second stereoscopic sensing system to sense light from the object and track the object according to a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution. The controller obtains data related to the object from the second stereoscopic sensing system and modifies control of the sensing elements of the first stereoscopic sensing system based on the obtained data related to the object.
