Patent

CA 2501618

The present invention generally relates to a method and system for determining the position and alignment of a plane in relation to an intersecting axis and using that known position and alignment to allow for corrections to be made when using the plane as a reference plane. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and system for determining the angle of tilt of a planar surface in relation to a laser beam, and using the determined angle of tilt to calculate a correction factor to be applied to the laser beam. Briefly stated, the method and system ultimately calculates a correction factor, z-offset, that is applied when using the laser beam in a procedure.

L'invention concerne d'une manière générale un procédé et un système permettant de déterminer la position et l'alignement d'un plan par rapport à un axe d'intersection et l'utilisation de la position et de l'alignement connus pour effectuer des corrections lorsque ledit plan sert de plan de référence. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour déterminer l'angle d'inclinaison d'une surface plane par rapport à un faisceau laser, l'angle d'inclinaison ainsi déterminé servant à calculer un facteur de correction à appliquer au faisceau laser. En résumé, le procédé et le système permettent en fin de compte de calculer un facteur de correction, z-offset, que l'on applique lorsque l'on utilise le faisceau laser dans une procédure.
