Abstract
Disclosed is a method for determining the three-dimensional positions of points in a target region on a patient in a reference coordinate system of a surgical visualization system. The method includes generating at least one light marking in the target region. Using at least one imaging unit to capture at least one image representation containing the at least one light marking. Determining a three-dimensional position of the at least one light marking in the reference coordinate system proceeding from image coordinates of the light marking in the captured image representation, with the known pose of the at least one light source and/or the light path and the known pose of the at least one imaging unit being taken into account. Repeating measures multiple times, with a position of the at least one light marking within the target region being changed each time, and providing the determined three-dimensional positions.
