Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Spherical fiducial markers are widely used for point-based registration of intra-operative 2D X-ray projections to preoperative 3D computed tomography images. The automatic localization of marker centers on X-rays speeds up the registration process and reduces the human error. However, a sub-pixel accurate localization of said centers is at present a challenging task, especially when fiducials overlap dense anatomical structures on the radiographs. In this paper, we propose a new method for automated and accurate detection of centers of fiducial markers in 2D projections, even in presence of structure overlapping. Several experiments confirm the high accuracy and robustness of the proposed algorithm achieving a localization error - mean (std) - equal to 0.059 (0.062) mm.
