SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRACKING POSITIONS OF UNIFORM MARKER GEOMETRIES

摘要

A system (10) and method for tracking a tracking device for use with a surgical navigation system is provided. The system and method can include at least one tracking device (41) having a plurality of faces (202a - f ). The faces can be operable to generate a signal upon activation. Also included is a face activation module (236) that activates a selected one of the faces upon receipt of an activation signal. The system can also include a visibility module (234) that generates the activation signal and receives the signal from the face to generate tracking data for the tracking device, along with a face switching module (238) that generates a face control signal to activate a different face based on the tracking data.
