Application: Systems and methods for object measurement in minimally invasive robotic surgery (Patent ID: US20240099556A1)
The patent filed by Medtronic Plc describes a computer-implemented method for enhancing objects in endoscopy images by capturing an image of an object within a surgical site, determining the size of the object, and displaying the image with a representation of the object's size. The system includes a processor and instructions for analyzing the geometry and depth of pixels in the image, as well as the location of a surgical instrument to determine the object's size accurately. Additionally, the system can display the image of the object and provide alerts if the surgical instrument is outside the field of view.
Furthermore, the system includes an imaging device to capture images of objects within the surgical site, and instructions for re-centering the device based on the location of the surgical instrument. It also utilizes a trained neural network to determine object size based on input parameters like focal length and field of view. The system can provide visual or audio alerts if the surgical instrument is not within the image's field of view, ensuring accurate object size determination during endoscopic procedures.
