Purpose A new approach is proposed to localise surgical instruments for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) that aims at overpassing the limitations of conventional CAOS solutions. This approach relies on both a depth sensor and a 6D pose estimation algorithm. Methods The Point‐Pair Feature...
