- Abstract
This work investigates combination of Optical Coherence Tomography and two cameras, observing a microscopic scene. Stereo vision provides realistic images, but is limited in terms of penetration depth. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) enables access to subcutaneous structures, but 3D-OCT volume data do not give the surgeon a familiar view. The extension of the stereo camera setup with OCT imaging combines the benefits of both modalities. In order to provide the surgeon with a convenient integration of OCT into the vision interface, we present an automated image processing analysis of OCT and stereo camera data as well as combined imaging as augmented reality visualization. Therefore, we care about OCT image noise, perform segmentation as well as develop proper registration objects and methods. The registration between stereo camera and OCT results in a Root Mean Square error of 284 μm as average of five measurements. The presented methods are fundamental for fusion of both imaging modalities. Augmented reality is shown as application of the results. Further developments lead to fused visualization of subcutaneous structures, as information of OCT images, into stereo vision.
