System for determining a three-dimensional position of a testing tool
First Claim
1. An injection training system, the system comprising:
- an anatomic training model, the training model including one or more resilient layers configured to receive a tip of a testing tool and a rigid innermost layer, the one or more resilient layers and rigid innermost layer being optically transmissive, the innermost layer defining a cavity within the training model;
a first camera mounted within the cavity, the first camera having a first central viewing axis;
a second camera mounted within the cavity, the second camera having a second central viewing axis extending at an angle offset from the first central viewing axis, the first and second cameras each having fields of view configured to detect light emitting from the tip of the testing tool, wherein the first camera is positioned in a superior portion of the anatomic training model and the second camera is positioned in an inferior portion of the anatomic training model so as to increase an overlapping field of view covering at least partially an anterior portion of the anatomic training model; and
a processing unit configured to determine a three-dimensional position of the tip of the testing tool based on locations of the centroids of emitted light detected in the fields of view of the first and second cameras and refraction of the emitted light through the innermost layer.

Abstract
A system for determining a three-dimensional position of a tip of a testing tool in an anatomic training model can be used for injection training. The system can include first and second cameras positioned in the anatomic training model. The first and second cameras can each detect an area of light emitted from the tip of the testing tool. The system can also include a processing unit configured to trace the emitted light away from a location of a centroid of the area of emitted light in the first camera and a location of a centroid of the area of emitted light in the second camera respectively, and calculate a three-dimensional position of the distal tip of the testing tool based on the locations of the centroids. The calculation can take into account refraction of the emitted light through an innermost layer of the training model.
