Home < 2014 Summer Project Week:Open source electromagnetic trackers usingOpenIGTLink
Key Investigators
- Retired: Peter Traneus Anderson
- BWH: Tina Kapur, Sonia Pujol
Objectives
- This open-source electromagnetic tracker project aims to teach and develop open-source electromagnetic trackers, to enable extending performance in directions that existing proprietary trackers do not address.
- This project aims to develop methods of accurately characterizing transmitter and receiver coils without the use of costly precision robots.
Approach, Plan
Progress
- Over the past year, Peter has developed and tested a simple and fast buffer design between the steady-streaming ADC data and the bursty USB interface. This fast interface replaces two-years-ago's very-slow USB interface in Pete's prototype three-transmitter-coil three-receiver-coil hardware.
