A Portable 6D Surgical Instrument Magnetic Localization Dataset

This dataset provides 6D magnetic localization data for surgical instrument tracking, focusing on position and orientation estimation in minimally invasive procedures. It includes various trajectory experiments such as square, circular, saddle-shaped, and helical paths, along with simulated minimally invasive knee surgery and needle sampling experiments. Additionally, it contains dynamic error correction verification data. Data is collected using 16 LIS3MDL magnetometers at 300 Hz, offering both raw and filtered data for algorithm validation. This dataset supports research in robotic surgery, medical navigation, and real-time localization. It was collected in a controlled lab environment and is intended for academic research only.
