Abstract
We propose a minimal solution for the similarity registration (rigid pose and scale) between two sets of 3D lines, and also between a set of co-planar points and a set of 3D lines. The first problem is solved up to 8 discrete solutions with a minimum of 2 line-line correspondences, while the second is solved up to 4 discrete solutions using 4 point-line correspondences. We use these algorithms to perform the extrinsic calibration between a pose tracking sensor and a 2D/3D ultrasound (US) curvilinear probe using a tracked needle as calibration target. The needle is tracked as a 3D line, and is scanned by the ultrasound as either a 3D line (3D US) or as a 2D point (2D US). Since the scale factor that converts US scan units to metric coordinates is unknown, the calibration is formulated as a similarity registration problem. We present results with both synthetic and real data and show that the minimum solutions outperform the correspondent non-minimal linear formulations.
