Abstract

This paper proposes a probe-camera system for 3D ultrasound (US) image reconstruction with probe-camera calibration and probe localization methods. The probe-camera calibration method employs an existing US phantom for convenience with a simple procedure. The probe localization method employs structure from motion (SfM) to estimate the camera motion. SfM is used to reconstruct 3D point clouds from multiple-view images and simultaneously estimate each camera position. Through experiments using the developed system, we demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits good performance to reconstruct 3D US volume.
