A fiber optic tracking system (100) for tracking substantially rigid object (s) is described. The fiber optic tracking system includes a light source (7), an optical fiber (6,6') having a sensing component (12, 12a, 12b) configured to modify optical signals from the light source, the optical fiber being configured to attach to the substantially rigid object (19, 19', 19", a detection unit (9) arranged to receive the modified optical signals from the sensing component, and a calculation unit (3) configured to determine a pose of the substantially rigid object in six degrees of freedom based on the modified optical signals.

La présente invention concerne un système de repérage à fibre optique permettant de repérer des objets sensiblement rigides. Ce système de repérage à fibre optique comporte une source de lumière, une fibre optique pourvue d'un élément de détection configuré pour modifier les signaux optiques provenant de la source de lumière, la fibre optique étant configurée pour se fixer à l'objet sensiblement rigide, une unité de détection organisée de façon à recevoir les signaux optiques modifiés provenant de l'élément de détection, et une unité de calcul configurée de façon à déterminer à partir des signaux optiques modifiés une posture de l'objet sensiblement rigide dans six degrés de liberté.
