[0355] Camera calibration

[0356] Like any camera lens, the lens used in the head tracker may have a certain degree of distortion due to the distance from the imaging axis. The azimuth distortion should be negligible, but the radial distortion can be measured after the lens is installed and fitted to a polynomial curve to allow rapid compensation of the centroid position near the edge of the camera's field of view. During the use of the NewtonRaphson iterative algorithm, a 6DOF expansion algorithm can be constructed to adapt to the typical level of radial distortion as a second-order compensation.

[0357] The radial distortion can be determined by printing fiducial targets with concentric circles with diameters of 1 / 3", 2 / 3", 1" (and so on up to the maximum diameter of 4 inches), such as Figure 22A with 22B Shown. The approximate FOV of the camera and a 25mm lens at a working distance of 14.08 inches is 2"x2.67", as indicated by the inner rectangle printed on the target. The c...

Abstract

A motion tracking system for dynamic tracking of and compensation for motion of a patient during a magnetic resonance scan comprises a first camera positioned to view an optical marker along a first line of sight; a second camera positioned to view the optical marker along a second line of sight; and a computer system configured to analyze images generated by the first and second cameras to determine changes in position of the optical marker, and to generate tracking data for use by a magnetic resonance scanner to dynamically adjust scans to compensate for the changes in position of the optical marker, wherein the computer system is configured to dynamically adapt its image analysis to utilize images from all cameras that are currently viewing the optical marker.
