title: 3D Perception Technologies for Surgical Operating Theatres.
abstract: 3D Perception technologies have been explored in various fields. This paper explores the application of such technologies for surgical operating theatres. Clinical applications can be found in workflow detection, tracking and analysis, collision avoidance with medical robots, perception of interaction between participants of the operation, training of the operation room crew, patient calibration and many more. In this paper a complete perception solution for the operating room is shown. The system is based on the ToF technology integrated to the Microsoft Kinect One implements a multi camera approach. Special emphasize is put on the tracking of the personnel and the evaluation of the system performance and accuracy.
