MODEL REGISTRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract:

A system for registering a coordinate system associated with a model of an object with a reference-coordinate-system, the object includes at least one marker, the system includes a portable-unit, a tracking-system and a processor. The portable unit includes and display and an optical-detection-assembly for acquiring at least one representation of the marker. The tracking-system tracks the position-and-orientation of the portable-unit in the reference-coordinate-system. The processor is configured to determine position-related-information respective of the marker in the reference-coordinate-system, to register the model with the reference-coordinate-system at least based on the position-related-information respective of the marker, and on a location of the marker in a coordinate system associated with the model, and to display registration-related-information on the display, at least one of the registration-related-information and the display location of the registration-related-information is related to the position-and-orientation of the portable-unit in the reference-coordinate-system.
