1. A system for registering one or more anatomical elements, the system comprising:
an imaging device;
a navigation system configured to track a pose of a marker coupled to an object and further configured to identify the marker;
a registration model configured to register an anatomical element to an image;
a processor; and
a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causing the processor to:
receive a first image from a surgical plan;
obtain, from the navigation system, pose information describing the pose of the marker and a marker identification of the marker;
retrieve, from a database, an object identification based on the marker identification, wherein the database stores marker identification information for each of a plurality of markers and corresponding object identification information for each of an associated plurality of objects;
obtain, from the imaging device, image data of a second image depicting the anatomical element and the object, the image data including a portion of the anatomical element, the anatomical element partially blocked by the object; and
input the image data, the pose information, and the object identification into the registration model, the registration model registering the anatomical element to the first image based on the pose information and the object identification,
wherein the registration model uses image processing to identify the object within the image data based on the pose information and the object identification,
wherein the registration model flags the object for non-use by the registration model,
wherein the registration model blocks the flagged object and does not use the image data depicting the object during registration of the anatomical element, and
wherein the registration model registers the anatomical element based on the portion depicted.
