Abstract
A system and method for reconstructing locations of sensors in radiopaque images may estimate sensor locations in two groups of good radiographic images and use them to estimate candidate sensor locations in a group of bad radiographic images B, . . . , Bn in which many sensors are indiscernible. A first iterative process pervading from the first image Bto the last image Bn may determine a first set of candidate sensor locations, and a second iterative process pervading from the last image Bn to the first image Bmay determine a second set of candidate sensor location for each image. Location of a sensor in each image Bi may be estimated based on the pertinent first and second candidate sensor locations related, or determined for, the particular sensor in the particular image. Sensor locations still missing in the series of images are, then, estimated using the already estimated sensor locations.
