摘要:
针对NDI电磁定位跟踪设备工作空间有限且在工作空间内定位精度不一致的问题,提出了一种利用机械臂移动磁场发生器从而拓展电磁定位系统工作空间且保证定位精度的方法。利用NDI系统返回的误差指示值衡量定位精度,当误差指示值超出设定的阈值时,利用机械臂移动磁场发生器使传感器重新位于NDI系统的最佳测量工作区,并将电磁定位系统测量的位姿通过空间变换方式统一到机械臂基座坐标系,从而在保证定位精度的同时也起到扩展工作空间的作用。为验证所提方法的有效性,通过实验验证定位误差与误差指标值及传感器到磁场发生器中心的距离成正相关关系;通过拓展前后的误差分析表明,所提方法能有效降低定位误差,平均位置误差从2.61 mm降低到1.34 mm,平均姿态误差从2.42°降低到1.37°。所提方法可应用于类似血管介入手术导管在大范围移动的器械定位与跟踪。
Abstract:Aimed at the problem of limited workspace and inconsistent measurement accuracy of NDI electromagnetic tracking equipment, a method for expanding the workspace of electromagnetic tracking system and guaranteeing measurement accuracy by moving magnetic field generator is proposed. This method uses the indicator value returned by NDI system as the measurement of accuracy. When the indicator value exceeds the set threshold, the magnetic field generator connected with the manipulator is moved to relocate the sensor in the optimum working area, and the position and attitude measured by the system are unified into the coordinate system of the manipulator base through spatial transformation. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments are conducted to verify that the measurement error is positively correlated with the indicator value and the distance between the sensor and the center of the magnetic field generator. Then, by comparing the errors before and after the expansion, it is shown that the mean position error can be reduced from 2.61 mm to 1.34 mm, and the mean orientation error can be reduced from 2.42° to 1.37°. This method can be used to locate and track large-scale moving instruments such as vascular interventional catheters.
