Visible light communication system for transmitting data between visual tracking systems and tracking markers

摘要

An optical tracking system includes at least one tracking array for generating and optically transmitting data between 1 and 2,000MB/s. At least one tracker for optically receiving the optically transmitted data between 1 and 2,000 MB/s is also provided. The tracking system is used not only for tracking objects and sending tracking information quickly but also providing the user or other components in an operating room with additional data relevant to an external device such as a computer assisted device. Orthopedic surgical procedures such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are performed more efficiently and with better result with the optical tracking system.
