Abstract
Surgical accuracy of the hand-held instruments depends on the active compensation of disturbance and tremor. Physiological tremor is one of the main causes for imprecision in micro-surgery procedures. One of the popular tremor compensation methods is based on weighted-frequency Fourier linear combiner (WFLC) algorithm, that can adapt to the changes in frequency as well as amplitude of the tremor signal. WLFC estimates the dominant frequency and the amplitude. For the case of tremor with frequency variation or comprising of two or three frequencies close in spectral domain, the WFLC performance is degraded. In this paper, we present a bandlimited multiple Fourier linear combiner that can track the modulated signals with multiple frequency components. We also discuss the tremor sensing with accelerometers. Using the proposed algorithm the drift caused by the accelerometers is also eliminated. The proposed filter is tested in real-time for 1-DOF cancellation of tremor.
