Spotlights: A Robust Method for Surface-Based Registration in Orthopedic Surgery

Fast, simple and effective registration methods are needed in a wide variety of computer-assisted surgical procedures in which readily locatable anatomical landmarks are not available. Surface-based least-squares registration methods can be used, but are susceptible to poor initial pose estimates and to error contamination during intraoperative data collection.
