Claim 19:
20. A computer implemented method executed by a processor of an intra-operative computing unit, the method comprising:
receiving, from a sensor, first optical information for a first target and a second target, and measurements for determining a direction of gravity for a registration step to perform a registration of an anatomy of a patient, the first optical information comprising information for: i) the first target attached to the anatomy of the patient; and ii) the second target attached to a registration device to determine at least one axis relative to the anatomy of the patient, and wherein each of the first target and the second target is configured to provide positional information in up to six degrees of freedom to an optical sensor configured to provide optical information, and wherein the sensor comprises the optical sensor, and a measuring sensor, the measuring sensor configured to provide measurements for determining the direction of gravity;
receiving, from the sensor, second optical information for the first target and second target, the second optical information received for a subsequent step of a surgical procedure, the second optical information comprising information for the second target attached to a bone of the anatomy of the patient, a surgical tool for the surgical procedure, or an implant for the surgical procedure; and
determining and presenting measurements relative to the anatomy of the patient for the surgical procedure, wherein the measurements relative to the anatomy of the patient are determined from the second optical information, and in relation to the registration of the anatomy of the patient.
