Project Description

The goal of this project is to create a new 3D Slicer Module that can overlay patient registered 4D US volumes with endoscopic images.

The Project is divided into four part: 4D Ultrasound Volume Reconstruction, Patient-Image Registration, Endoscope Overlay, and Endoscope Calibration. All four parts will be accessable through a single 3D Slicer Module.

Endoscope Overlay

• Responsible: Yamada Atsushi, Haiying Liu

Details

• OpenCV Module in Slicer3
• Multiple Camera Support in Slicer3
• Transrectal/Transperineal biopsy robot module merge
• Open CV Wiki
• Summer Second Display Project (Japanese)

Bug Fixes for the 3D Slicer Module

• There is a bug in OpenCV related to V4L2 devices:
  • Here is the bugtrac with information: [[3]]
    • Somehow this is related to bttv 878 cards. OpenCV seem not to be able to handle all output of the card correctly
  • Here is the fix [[4]]
    • Apply the changes of revision 1609 to the file # opencv/src/highgui/cvcap_v4l.cpp
