Position and Pose Estimation of Camera and Projector Using Particle Swarm Optimization in a Human Body Projection Mapping System

Abstract

It is desired to develop a system that automatically detect the projector position without markers and project the internal structure of a human body onto the body surface without restrictions on the projection direction in breast reconstruction surgery using perforator flap in plastic surgery. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the position and pose of the camera from the image of the human body taken by the camera attached to the projector based on the body line using a particle swarm optimization method.
