Abstract: A system includes an image sensor, an imaging pipeline, and a display device. The image sensor is configured to capture a first frame of pixel data. The imaging pipeline is coupled to the image sensor to receive the first frame of pixel data. The imaging pipeline includes an adaptive noise filter. The adaptive noise filter is configured to filter a pixel based on noise in the pixel. The imaging pipeline is configured to output a second frame of pixel data. The second frame of pixel data includes pixels filtered by the adaptive noise filter. The display device is coupled to the imaging pipeline to receive the second frame of pixel data. The display device is configured to display the second frame of pixel data.

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.

Abstract: An illustrative system may include an imaging device and an image processing system. The imaging device may be configured to output first image information corresponding to a first wavelength band associated with fluorescence emitted by a substance and may be configured to output second image information corresponding to a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band and associated with the fluorescence emitted by the substance. The image processing system may be configured to receive the first image information and the second image information from the imaging device and may determine, based on a comparison of the first image information to the second image information, a property of the substance.

Abstract: A stereoscopic image capture device includes a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first frame timer, and a second frame timer. The first and second frame timers are different frame timers. The first image sensor includes a first plurality of rows of pixels. The second image sensor includes a second plurality of rows of pixels. The first and second image sensors can be separate devices or different areas of a sensor region in an integrated circuit. The first frame timer is coupled to the first image sensor to provide image capture timing signals to the first image sensor. The second frame timer coupled to the second image sensor to provide image capture timing signals to the second image sensor.
