    Abstract: The disclosed calibration method includes a calibration phantom positioned on an adjustable table on the surface of a mechanical couch, with the phantom's centre at an estimated location for the iso-centre of a radio therapy treatment apparatus. The calibration phantom is then irradiated using the apparatus, and the relative location of the center of the calibration phantom and the iso-centre of the apparatus is determined by analyzing images of the irradiation of the calibration phantom. The calibration phantom is then repositioned by the mechanical couch applying an offset corresponding to the determined relative location of the centre of the calibration phantom and the iso-centre of the apparatus to the calibration phantom. Images of the relocated calibration phantom are obtained, to which the offset has been applied, and the obtained images are processed to set the co-ordinate system of a stereoscopic camera system relative to the iso-centre of the apparatus.

    Abstract: A calibration sheet is located at a first position where its surface substantially corresponds to the expected position of a patient surface lying on a mechanical couch during treatment. Images of the calibration sheet are obtained and processed to ascertain relative locations and orientations of the image detectors obtaining the images and optical distortion parameters indicative of optical distortions present in the obtained images of the calibration sheet. The calibration sheet is then re-located to a known position relative to the iso-centre of the treatment apparatus and images of the re-located calibration sheet are obtained and processed to determine a transform corresponding to the relocation of the calibration sheet from the first position to the iso-centre of the treatment apparatus. Data indicative of optical distortions present in the images and data indicative of the locations and orientations of the image detectors relative to the iso-centre of the treatment apparatus are stored.

    Abstract: A patient monitoring system can include stereoscopic cameras connected to a computer which includes a 3D position determination module operable to process stereoscopic images of a patient to identify 3D positions of a plurality of points on the surface of an imaged patient. A target model store can store a target model including data identifying 3D positions of a set of vertices of a triangulated 3D wire mesh model and connectivity indicative of connections between vertices. A matching module can identify the triangles in a target model surface stored in the target model store closest to points identified by the 3D position determination module and calculate a rigid transformation which minimizes point to plane distances between the identified points and the planes containing the triangles of the target model surface identified as being closest to those points.
