  • Title: An efficient dynamic point algorithm for line-based collision detection in real time surgery simulation involving haptics.
    Author: Maciel A, De S.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2008; 132():266-71. PubMed ID: 18391302.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we introduce a novel "dynamic point" algorithm for computing the interaction of a line-shaped haptic cursor and polygonal surface models which has a near constant complexity. The algorithm is applied in laparoscopic surgery simulation for interaction of surgical instruments with physics-based deformable organ models.
