Centerline Registration

Registration method to register a centerline (.vtk file) to a path acquired from a tracked tool. Translation along each axis (x,y,z) and rotation around each axis (x,y,z) is optional.

Intended use: Endoscopy in esophagus (local/updated registration during procedure).

Tips: Switch off z translation and z rotation to use the registration method for local corrections in navigated endoscopy in esophagus.
