Abstract:
An illustrative surgical system may access a plurality of images captured outside a structure within a patient; detect a difference between spectral reflectances of scenes captured in the plurality of images; and identify, based on the detected difference between the spectral reflectances of the scenes captured in the plurality of images, pixels in at least one of the plurality of images that correspond to structure tissue of the structure.
