[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0045] In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a method for tracking the cutting depth of a scalpel is provided. This embodiment uses the method applied to a terminal as an example for illustration. It is understandable that the method can also be applied to a server, and can also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and is implemented through the interaction between the terminal and the server. Among them, the terminal can be, but is not limited to, a scalpel, a host computer, various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices and portable wearable devices. The Internet of Things devices can be smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart car-mounted devices, projection devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can be smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The head-mounted devices can be virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, smart glasses, etc. The server can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides cloud computing services. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 101 : during the operation of the scalpel, obtaining the rotation state information of the target scalpel.

[0047] The state information after rotation includes angular velocity information after rotation.

[0048] In this embodiment of the present application, the target scalpel is the scalpel for which cutting depth tracking is to be performed. During a clinical surgical procedure, a doctor or a control device controls the scalpel to perform a cutting operation. The post-rotation state information is the state information of the scalpel after any rotation from its original state, representing the motion state of the scalpel after the rotation from its original state.

[0049] In one example, during the operation of a scalpel, the terminal obtains real-time information on the rotational state of the target scalpel through a micro-electro-mechanical systems inertial measurement unit (MEMS-IMU, referred to as a micro inertial sensor). Among them, MEMS-IMU is a high-precision sensor that integrates an accelerometer, gyroscope and / or magnetometer, with the characteristics of miniaturization and low power consumption. MEMS-IMU has better stability and is not restricted by environmental interference, insufficient positioning accuracy and other problems. In this way, the accuracy, precision and stability of angular velocity acquisition can be improved, thereby improving the accuracy, precision and stability of the scalpel's cutting depth tracking.

[0050] Step 102 : determining the spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel after rotation according to the angular velocity information after rotation and a preset data fusion algorithm.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the spatial coordinate information after rotation is used to represent the spatial position of the scalpel after rotation from the original state. The data fusion algorithm is an algorithm for determining the spatial coordinates of the scalpel through the angular velocity of the scalpel.

[0052] Step 103 : determining the cutting depth of the target scalpel according to the rotated spatial coordinate information and the original spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel, and outputting the cutting depth.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal uses the difference between the z-axis coordinate contained in the rotated spatial coordinate information and the z-axis coordinate contained in the original spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel as the cutting depth of the target scalpel. The terminal then outputs the cutting depth. The original spatial coordinate information is used to represent the spatial position of the scalpel in its original state. The original state is the state in which the target scalpel is in its initial position.

[0054] In one embodiment, the terminal uses the space coordinate information after rotation And the original space coordinate information of the target scalpel , determine the cutting depth depth of the target scalpel, which can be expressed as: .

[0055] In one example, the terminal displays the depth of cut.

[0056] In another example, the terminal sends the cutting depth to other devices.

[0057] In an example, the post-rotation state information also includes post-rotation acceleration information, and the terminal may further output the post-rotation acceleration information.

[0058] In the above-mentioned scalpel cutting depth tracking method, the scalpel's angular velocity information is acquired in real time, and the real-time spatial position of the scalpel is determined by the angular velocity. The scalpel's cutting depth is determined and output based on the rotated spatial coordinate information and the original spatial coordinate information. This method can automatically and quantitatively output the scalpel's cutting depth in real time, assisting the surgeon in completing the cut and helping the surgeon precisely adjust the cutting position, thereby improving surgical efficiency. Furthermore, this method can also display the scalpel's cutting depth and angle in real time during the operation of the scalpel. It can even combine the scalpel's cutting depth and angle with data from other medical imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI images, for a fused display. This can further assist the surgeon in completing the cut, helping the surgeon precisely adjust the cutting position and angle, achieving precise surgery while avoiding critical tissues such as blood vessels and nerves, further improving clinical surgical efficiency and reducing surgical risks, thus possessing significant clinical value.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the specific process of determining the spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel after rotation based on the angular velocity information after rotation and the preset data fusion algorithm includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 201 : Determine the quaternion posture information of the target scalpel after rotation according to the angular velocity information after rotation.

[0061] In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the quaternion pose information of the target scalpel after rotation based on the angular velocity information after rotation and a preset pose fusion algorithm. The pose fusion algorithm combines information provided by multiple sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers) to calculate the object's pose in three-dimensional space (including pitch, roll, and yaw angles) and fuses them to resolve the quaternion. The pose fusion algorithm includes the Mahony algorithm and the quaternion pose update algorithm. The quaternion pose information after rotation represents the pose of the scalpel after its original state and can be expressed in quaternion form.

[0062] In one example, the terminal establishes a spatial coordinate system based on a pre-established physical model of the target scalpel. The terminal then determines the quaternion pose information of the target scalpel after rotation based on the angular velocity information after rotation and the pre-established spatial coordinate system. Specifically, based on the pre-established physical model of the target scalpel, the terminal establishes a spatial coordinate system o, using the direction in which the target scalpel points when placed horizontally as the x-axis and the direction perpendicular to the ground as the z-axis.

[0063] Step 202 : Calculate the rotation matrix of the target scalpel according to the rotated quaternion posture information.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal uses the quaternion posture information after rotation , calculate the rotation matrix of the target scalpel after rotation , which can be expressed as:

[0065]

[0066] in, It represents the posture of the scalpel at time t after it rotates from its original state.

[0067] Step 203 : Calculate the spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel after rotation according to the rotation matrix and the distance from the grip point of the target scalpel to the tip of the scalpel.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the horizontal placement matrix of the target scalpel based on the distance from the grip point of the target scalpel to the tip of the scalpel. The terminal then multiplies the rotation matrix and the horizontal placement matrix as the rotated spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel.

[0069] In one example, the terminal obtains the distance from the holding point of the target scalpel to the tip of the scalpel through a sensor.

[0070] In one embodiment, step 203 can be expressed as: , where d is the distance from the holding point of the target scalpel to the tip of the scalpel, To place the matrix horizontally.

[0071] In the above-mentioned scalpel cutting depth tracking method, the quaternion pose information of the target scalpel after rotation is determined based on the angular velocity information after rotation; the rotation matrix of the target scalpel after rotation is calculated based on the quaternion pose information after rotation; and the spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel after rotation is calculated based on the rotation matrix and the distance from the grip point to the scalpel tip. In this way, the quaternion representation of the real-time pose of the scalpel is determined based on the real-time angular velocity information, the rotation matrix of the scalpel is determined based on the quaternion, and the spatial coordinates of the scalpel are calculated based on the rotation matrix and the distance from the grip point to the scalpel tip. Compared with the method of calculating spatial position by quadratic integration of acceleration, which amplifies errors multiple times, this method uses an original data fusion algorithm to calculate the scalpel cutting depth from angular velocity, involving only a single integration. This method can reduce errors, improve the accuracy and precision of the scalpel cutting depth perception, further enhance surgical precision and clinical efficiency, and further reduce surgical risks.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the rotation state information also includes the acceleration information after rotation. The specific process of determining the spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel after rotation based on the angular velocity information after rotation and the preset data fusion algorithm includes the following steps:

[0073] Step 301 : Correcting the angular velocity information after rotation according to the acceleration information after rotation to obtain corrected angular velocity information after rotation.

[0074] Step 302 : Determine the spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel after rotation based on the corrected angular velocity information after rotation and a preset data fusion algorithm.

[0075] It can be understood that the specific process of step 302 is similar to the specific process of steps 201-203.

[0076] In the above-mentioned method for tracking the cutting depth of a scalpel, the angular velocity is corrected by the acceleration obtained in real time, and the corrected angular velocity is used to calculate the spatial coordinates of the scalpel, which can improve the accuracy of the angular velocity, thereby further improving the accuracy of the scalpel's cutting depth perception, further improving surgical accuracy and clinical surgical efficiency, and further reducing surgical risks.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the method further includes the following steps:

[0078] Step 401: Acquire original state information of a target scalpel at an initial position.

[0079] The original state information includes original angular velocity information.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the initial position is the position at which the scalpel starts to operate during operation. The initial position can be the starting position of the scalpel during the cutting process, for example, the position of the scalpel on the cutting surface.

[0081] In one example, the terminal obtains the original state information of the target scalpel through a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Inertial Measurement Unit (MEMS-IMU).

[0082] In one embodiment, the operator of the target scalpel triggers the triggering device. The terminal uses the current position of the target scalpel as the initial position and obtains the original state information of the target scalpel at the current position. The operator can be a doctor or a device.

[0083] Step 402: Determine the original spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel based on the original angular velocity information and a preset data fusion algorithm.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal determines the original quaternion posture information of the target scalpel based on the original angular velocity information. Then, the terminal calculates the original rotation matrix of the target scalpel based on the original quaternion posture information. Then, the terminal calculates the original spatial coordinate information of the target scalpel based on the original rotation matrix and the distance from the grip point to the scalpel tip of the target scalpel. It will be understood that the specific process of step 402 is similar to the specific process of steps 201-203.

[0085] In one embodiment, step 402 may be expressed as:

[0086]

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] in, is the original quaternion attitude information, is the original rotation matrix, is the original space coordinate information.

[0090] In the above-mentioned scalpel cutting depth tracking method, a method similar to the method of calculating the spatial coordinates of the scalpel after rotation is used to calculate the original spatial coordinates of the scalpel at the beginning of cutting, which can reduce the calculation complexity and improve the accuracy of the scalpel's cutting depth perception.

[0091] In one embodiment, the physical model of the target scalpel is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in , the distance from the holding point of the target scalpel to the tip of the scalpel is d. The cutting depth calculation model in the above scalpel cutting depth tracking method is as follows: Figure 6 As shown. The terminal uses the original quaternion attitude information And the quaternion attitude information after rotation , calculate the cutting depth depth of the target scalpel.

[0092] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above are displayed in sequence according to the instructions of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the various embodiments described above can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed and completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of steps or stages in other steps.

[0093] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present application also provide a scalpel for implementing the aforementioned method for tracking the cutting depth of a scalpel.

The data transmission module 13 (also referred to as the first data transmission module for ease of distinction) can transmit cutting depth data to other devices or other modules, and may also be a display module for displaying the cutting depth.

[0099] The scalpel uses a micro-inertial sensor module to acquire real-time angular velocity information.
