Embodiment Construction
[0012] In accordance with the principles of the present invention, systems and methods are provided that employ fiber optic shape sensing and localization techniques to achieve accurate reconstruction of shape. Accurate shape data can be retrieved by "painting" structures of interest with fiber optic shape sensing enabled instruments (eg, catheters during interventional procedures, etc.).
[0013] In one embodiment, fiber optic shape sensing and localization technology can be used to acquire shape data in the form of an ultra-dense point cloud. Considering the high data rates of fiber-optic shape sensing and localization technologies and the complex topology of anatomical structures, point-based mesh processing algorithms may be inappropriate.
[0014] A system is employed that allows mapping of ultra-dense point cloud data into a voxel dataset using an index-based lookup mechanism. The voxel data may be processed using, for example, standard image processing techniques (eg, ...
