Module Description

OpenCAD module allows to output a filtered transform node based on an tracker input (transform node). Tracking sensors are particularly usefull to track surgical tools, robots, patient motion, etc... . However, data imported in 3D Slicer from these devices are often noisy. To reduce the noise and smoothly control objects, such as 3D Slicer camera, the OpenCAD module will apply a low-pass filter on input data. The cut-off frequency (i.e. the smoothing parameter) is adjustable by the user. It is important to notice that filters induce delay, and the smoother the motion is, the bigger the delay between the raw data and the filtered position will be.
