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 virtual primaries transform controller maps a color of a first pixel in a scene received from an imaging pipeline to a color of a second pixel, which is displayed on a monitor. The first color and the second color are the same color. The direct mapping performed by the controller assures that the colors of pixels displayed using two different display technologies are identical.

Abstract: An illustrative apparatus may determine a color-skew metric for an image frame captured by an image capture system. The color-skew metric may be indicative of an extent to which the image frame skews to a particular color. Based on the color-skew metric and an adaptive target control function, the apparatus may determine a frame auto-exposure target. Based on the frame auto-exposure target, the apparatus may update one or more auto-exposure parameters for use 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: A system directs an imaging device to continuously capture visible light and fluorescence illumination from a surgical area. The system generates a visible light image stream based on the captured visible light and a fluorescence image stream based on the captured fluorescence illumination. The system operates in a first display mode by directing a display device to display a first video stream based on a first set of at least one of the visible light image stream and the fluorescence image stream. In response to detecting an event that occurs within the surgical area, the system switches from operating in the first display mode to operating in a second display mode by directing the display device to display a second video stream based on a second set of at least one of the visible light image stream and the fluorescence image stream, the first Instructions set being different than the second set.

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; determine one or more of a signal auto-exposure value of the signal region or a background auto-exposure value of the background region; and adjust, based on one or more of the signal auto-exposure value or the background auto-exposure value, one or more auto-exposure parameters used by the image capture system to capture an additional image frame. The identifying of the signal region and the background region may include identifying pixels of the image frame that have auto-exposure values that exceed an auto-exposure value threshold to be included within the signal region, and identifying pixels of the image frame that have auto-exposure values that do not exceed the auto-exposure value threshold to be included within the background region.
