Application: System, method and software program for aiding in positioning of objects in a surgical environment (Patent ID: US20240081940A1)
The patent filed by Stryker Corp. describes a surgical system that includes a machine vision camera and controllers to aid in positioning a surgical object relative to the camera in a surgical environment. The system virtually defines a zone within the camera's field of view to indicate acceptable positions for the surgical object and obtains an acceptable orientation range. A graphical user interface is used to present representations of the field of view, the zone, the position of the surgical object, and the angle difference between the object and the camera. The system can provide visual feedback based on the angle difference and automatically accept the positioning if within the acceptable range.
The machine vision camera in the system can sense the position and orientation of the surgical object using various techniques like depth map generation, segmentation, and color analysis. The controllers can define the acceptable orientation range and automatically advance the interface based on the positioning. The system can also utilize a laser range finder to determine the distance between the object and the camera. Additionally, the system can be incorporated into a head-mounted device for augmented reality or mixed reality applications, providing a user-friendly interface for precise positioning of the surgical object relative to the camera in a surgical setting.
