    Abstract: An imaging system comprises a rolling shutter sensor that captures images of a scene, an illumination source that continuously illuminates the scene, a time-varying illumination source that illuminates the scene, and a processor that receives the images from the rolling shutter sensor. The rolling shutter sensor and the time-varying illumination source are operated synchronously to cause: on-cadence lines of the rolling shutter sensor to receive illumination from the continuously illuminating illumination source and a first amount of illumination from the time-varying illumination source; and off-cadence lines of the rolling shutter sensor to receive the illumination from the continuously illuminating illumination source and a second amount of illumination from the time-varying illumination source. The processor separates the images into feeds based on the first and second amounts of illumination by combining the on-cadence lines to generate a first feed and combining the off-cadence lines to generate a second feed.

    Abstract: An arc-detection system for detecting an arc during an electrocautery surgical procedure may comprise a camera portion and an image processing controller portion. The camera portion may be sized for minimally invasive penetration into a patient's body. The camera portion may comprise a wide-angle lens having a field of view wider than 45 degrees and wider than a field of view of a conventional endoscopic camera system. The image processing controller portion may be configured to monitor images captured by the camera portion and configured to detect thermal changes to tissue at the surgical site.

    Abstract: A surgical system may comprise a display device and an endoscope. The surgical system may also include a processing device configured to operate the surgical system to perform a process comprising receiving a source image and receiving a gaze location of a user of the surgical system. The process may also comprise determining a first region of the source image based on the gaze location. A second region of the source image partially surrounds the first region and includes a source distortion. The process may also comprise applying a distortion correction to the source image to generate a modified image by applying a first degree of distortion correction in the first region and a second degree of distortion correction in the second region. The second degree of distortion correction preserves the source distortion in a portion of the second region. The process may also comprise displaying the modified image.

    Abstract: An imaging system and method includes a rolling shutter sensor that captures a plurality of images of a scene, a time-varying illumination source that illuminates the scene, and a processor that receives the plurality of images from the rolling shutter sensor and separates the plurality of images into a plurality of feeds. Each of the plurality of images is captured as a series of lines. The rolling shutter sensor and the time-varying illumination source are operated synchronously to cause a plurality of on-cadence lines of the rolling shutter sensor to receive more illumination from the time-varying illumination source than a plurality of off-cadence lines of the rolling shutter sensor. Each of the plurality of feeds has a different contribution of the time-varying illumination source to an overall illumination of the scene.

    Abstract: A surgical cannula includes a camera disposed at the distal end to permit visualization of tissue. A hinge pivotably couples the camera to the cannula and permits the camera to pivot from a first position at the distal end of the cannula to a second position different than the first position at the distal end of the cannula. Some implementations include a pointed distal tip that carries the camera. Some implementations include two cameras posed back to back.
