Interface for Northern Digital (NDI) Trackers with data to NumPy arrays
Project description
scikit-surgerynditracker is a python interface for Northern Digital (NDI) trackers. It should work with Polaris Vicra, Spectra, and Vega optical trackers and Aurora electromagnetic trackers. Tracking data is output as NumPy arrays.
Author: Stephen Thompson
scikit-surgerynditracker is part of the SNAPPY software project, developed at the Wellcome EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences, part of University College London (UCL).
Installing
pip install scikit-surgerynditracker
Using
Configuration is done using Python libraries at instantiation. Invalid configuration should raise exceptions. Tracking data is returned in a set of lists, containing the port handles, timestamps, framenumbers, the tracking data and a tracking quality metric. By default tracking data is returned as a 4x4 NumPy array, though can be returned as a quaternion by changing the configuration.
from sksurgerynditracker.nditracker import NDITracker SETTINGS = { "tracker type": "polaris", "romfiles" : ["../data/8700339.rom"] } TRACKER = NDITracker(SETTINGS) TRACKER.start_tracking() port_handles, timestamps, framenumbers, tracking, quality = TRACKER.get_frame() for t in tracking: print (t) TRACKER.stop_tracking() TRACKER.close()
