Abstract: A synchronization system node may comprise one or more processors and a synchronization database. The synchronization database may comprise a subscriber list of a plurality of subscribers, a first buffer including a plurality of attributes in a first state, and a second buffer including the plurality of attributes in a second state. The node may be configured to receive updates for one or more of the plurality of attributes and store, to the first buffer, the updates for the one or more of the plurality of attributes to update the plurality of attributes of the first buffer to an updated first state. While receiving the updates from the publisher, the nod may publish, from the second buffer to a first subscriber of the plurality of subscribers, one or more of the plurality of attributes in the second state.

Abstract: A system comprises a first robotic arm adapted to support and move a tool and a second robotic arm adapted to support and move a camera configured to capture an image of a camera field of view. The system further comprises an input device, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to display a first synthetic image including a first synthetic image of the tool. The first synthetic image of the tool includes a portion of the tool outside of the camera field of view. The processor is also configured to receive a user input at the input device and responsive to the user input, change the display of the first synthetic image to a display of a second synthetic image including a second synthetic image of the tool that is different from the first synthetic image of the tool.

Abstract: Methods and system perform tool tracking during minimally invasive robotic surgery. Tool states are determined. using triangulation techniques or a Bayesian filter from either or both non-endoscopically derived and endoscopically derived tool state information, or from either or both non-visually derived and visually derived tool state information. The non-endoscopically derived tool state information is derived from sensor data provided either by sensors associated with a mechanism for manipulating the tool, or sensors capable of detecting identifiable signals emanating or reflecting from the tool and indicative of its position, of external cameras viewing an end of the tool extending out of the body. The endoscopically derived tool state information is derived from image data provided by an endoscope inserted in the body so as to view the tool.

Abstract: A system may comprise an image capture device to capture an image of a work site. The system may also comprise a processor to determine whether a tool disposed at the work site is energized and determine a first area of the captured image of the work site, including or adjacent to an image of a portion of the tool in the captured image. The processor may also determine a second area of the captured image including a remainder of the captured image that does not include the first area. Conditioned upon determining that the tool is energized, at least one of the first area and the second area of the captured image of the work site may be processed to indicate that the tool in the first area is being energized. The image of the work site with the first area and the second area may be displayed.

Abstract: A lighting emulation system accesses an image that is captured by an imaging device and that depicts an operational scene illuminated by close-range light. The lighting emulation system accesses a depth map of the operational scene that includes depth data corresponding to each pixel in the image. Based on the depth map, the lighting emulation system determines a far-range lighting coefficient for each pixel in the image. Specifically, the far-range lighting coefficient for each respective pixel is determined based on the corresponding depth data included in the depth map for that respective pixel. Based on the image and the far-range lighting coefficient for each pixel in the image, the lighting emulation system generates a processed image depicting the operational scene as illuminated by far-range lighting, and provides the processed image for presentation on a display screen.

Abstract: A system comprises a first robotic arm adapted to support and move a tool and a second robotic arm adapted to support and move a camera. The system also comprises an input device, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to, in a first mode, command the first robotic arm to move the camera in response to a first input received from the input device to capture an image of the tool and present the image as a displayed image on the display. The processor is configured to, in a second mode, display a synthetic image of the first robotic arm in a boundary area around the captured image on the display, and in response to a second input, change a size of the boundary area relative a size of the displayed image.

Abstract: An endoscope with an optical channel is held and positioned by a robotic surgical system. A capture unit captures (1) a visible first image at a first time and (2) a visible second image combined with a fluorescence image at a second time. An image processing system receives (1) the visible first image and (2) the visible second image combined with the fluorescence image and generates at least one fluorescence image. A display system outputs an output image including an artificial fluorescence image.

Abstract: A synthetic representation of a tool for display on a user interface of a robotic system. The synthetic representation may be used to show force on the tool, an actual position of the tool, or to show the location of the tool when out of a field of view. A three-dimensional pointer is also provided for a viewer in the surgeon console of a telesurgical system.
