Context-sensitive white balancing for surgical microscopes
A computer-implemented method and a corresponding system for context-sensitive white balancing for a stereomicroscope are presented. The method comprises recording a first digital image by way of a first camera in a first optical path of the stereomicroscope, and recording a second digital image by way of a second camera in a second optical path of the stereomicroscope. Furthermore, the method comprises determining, by means of a trained machine learning system, the context identified in the images, and determining, by means of the trained machine learning system, camera parameters suitable for controlling color channels of the first and second cameras for white balancing.
BINOCULAR RETINAL IMAGING DEVICE, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR TRACKING FIXATIONAL EYE MOTION
A binocular scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) is used to track the fixational eye movement of each of the eyes of a subject. The binocular SLO may include right eye optics for imaging a portion of the retina of the right eye and left eye optics for imaging a portion of the retina of the left eye. Shifts in the imaged portion of the retina with respect to a reference image of the retina may be used to measure and track eye movement. The right eye optics and left eye optics may be separate imaging paths, each with its own bi-directional MEMS scanning mirror and Keplerian telescope. The use of the MEMS scanning mirrors minimizes the size and weight of the binocular SLO.
System and method of utilizing three-dimensional overlays with medical procedures
The disclosure provides a system that may: render, based at least on first positions of locations of iris structures of an eye, a first two-dimensional overlay image associated with a three-dimensional image overlay image; display, via a first display, the first two-dimensional overlay image; render, based at least on the first positions and at least on a horizontal offset, a second two-dimensional overlay image associated with the three-dimensional overlay image; display, via a second display, the second two-dimensional overlay image; render, based at least on second positions, a third two-dimensional overlay image associated with the three-dimensional overlay image; display, via the first display, the third two-dimensional overlay image; render, based at least on second positions of locations of the iris structures and at least on the horizontal offset, a fourth two-dimensional overlay image associated with the three-dimensional overlay image; and display, via the second display, the fourth two-dimensional overlay image.
VIRTUAL REALITY 3D EYE-INSPECTION BY COMBINING IMAGES FROM POSITION-TRACKED OPTICAL VISUALIZATION MODALITIES
A medical visualization apparatus includes two or more imaging devices, two or more robotic arms, multiple magnetic sensors coupled with the imaging devices, and a processor. The two or more imaging devices are configured to acquire images of an organ of a patient. The two or more robotic arms are configured to move the respective imaging devices. The multiple magnetic sensors are configured to output, in response to a magnetic field of a position tracking system, signals indicative of positions and viewing directions of the imaging devices. The processor is configured to estimate a position and a viewing direction of each of the imaging devices based on the signals, and, using the estimated positions and viewing directions, combine the images of the organ acquired by the imaging devices into a virtual reality (VR) image of the organ, and present the VR image to a user on a VR viewer.
