Abstract: An illustrative apparatus may identify, within an image frame captured by an image capture system, a signal region of the image frame and a background region of the image frame. The apparatus may determine one or more of a signal auto-exposure value of the signal region or a background auto-exposure value of the background region. Based on one or more of the signal auto-exposure value or the background auto-exposure value, the apparatus may determine a frame auto-exposure value. Additionally, based on the frame auto-exposure value, the apparatus may adjust one or more auto-exposure parameters used by the image capture system to capture an additional image frame. Corresponding apparatuses, systems, and methods for managing auto-exposure of image frames are also disclosed.

Abstract: An exemplary surgical system is configured to 1) access a plurality of surgical site scenes captured entirely outside a structure within a patient, each surgical site scene in the plurality of surgical site scenes being captured from reflected light of a different waveband of a plurality of wavebands, each waveband of the plurality of wavebands being reflected by structure tissue of the structure and non-structure tissue outside the structure; 2) detect a difference between spectral reflectances of each of the surgical site scenes in the captured surgical site scenes, and 3) identify, based on the detected difference between the spectral reflectances of each of the surgical site scenes in the captured surgical site scenes, pixels in the captured surgical site scenes that correspond to the structure tissue and pixels in the captured surgical site scenes that correspond to the non-structure tissue outside the structure.

Abstract: Technology described herein can be embodied in a method of displaying a visual representation of a portion of a surgical scene. The method includes receiving data representing information captured using a first sensor of a camera associated with a surgical device, the information being indicative of a first quantity representing an amount of fluorescence emitted from the portion of the surgical scene. The method also includes obtaining information indicative of a second quantity representing an amount of excitation signal causing the fluorescence to be emitted from the portion of the surgical scene, and generating a normalized fluorescence signal as a function of the first quantity and the second quantity. The method further includes generating the visual representation of the portion of the surgical scene based on the normalized fluorescence signal, and presenting the visual representation on a display device associated with the surgical device.

Abstract: The technology described herein can be embodied in a method that includes receiving data representing information captured using a first sensor and a second sensor of a multi-sensor camera. The sensors are configured to capture a surgical scene illuminated by a light source configured to emit wavelengths in the visible spectrum corresponding to sensing capabilities of the first and second sensors, respectively. The method also includes receiving data representing information captured using a third sensor of the multi-sensor camera, the third sensor configured to capture the surgical scene as illuminated by a near-infrared light source, and generating a first visual representation of the surgical scene based on the data representing the information captured using the first and second sensors. The first visual representation is combined with the information captured using the third sensor to generate a second visual representation, and the second visual representation is presented on a display device.
