Abstract
A visual guidance system for use in a surgical procedure include a calibration operation of a tip of a surgical drill. In particular, the system includes capturing images of a drill tip and generating a reconstruction volume shape of the drill tip to enable tracking of the drill tip. The system captures images of the drill tip in tilting motion to determine cutting edge contour data of the drill tip. The system further captures images of the drill tip in rotation and identifies point cloud data of the drill tip. The system further includes generating a three-dimensional surface data of the drill tip, a cutting plane, and a cutting edge contour of the drill tip. Given the three dimensional surface data and plane data, the system further generates guidance data for providing a navigation on surgical procedure using three-dimensional graphical representation of the surgical drill.
