Abstract: An imaging system is provided for pixel-level segmentation of images comprising: a camera to capture images of an N anatomical object and to represent the images in two-dimensional (2D) arrangements of pixels; one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable medium with information including: CNN instructions to cause the one or more processors to implement a CNN configured to associate anatomical object classifications with pixels of the 2D arrangements of pixels; and multiple sets of N weights, to differently configure the CNN based upon different camera image training data; and a display screen configured to display the two-dimensional (2D) arrangements of classified pixels and the anatomical object classifications.

Abstract: A robotic system includes a robotic arm configured to support an image capture device, the image capture device configured to capture source video of a field of view of the image capture device. The robotic system further includes a display device, and a processor communicatively coupled to the robotic arm and the display device. The processor is configured to render, on the display device, a first spatial subset of the source video, the first spatial subset corresponding to a first region of the field of view, and in response to a control signal to change the rendering: cause the robotic arm to move the image capture device and change the field of view captured by the source video, and render, on the display device, a second spatial subset of the source video, the second spatial subset corresponding to a second region of the field of view.

Abstract: An exemplary surgical instrument tracking system includes at least one physical computing device that determines, based on endoscopic imagery of a surgical area and using a trained neural network, an observation for an object of interest depicted in the endoscopic imagery, associates, based on a probabilistic framework and kinematics of a robotically-manipulated surgical instrument located at the surgical area, the observation for the object of interest to the robotically-manipulated surgical instrument, and determines a physical position of the robotically-manipulated surgical instrument at the surgical area based on the kinematics of the robotically-manipulated surgical instrument and the observation associated with the robotically-manipulated surgical instrument.

Abstract: A robotic system includes a display to display an image captured by an image capture device, a linkage movably supporting the display, the linkage including a multitude of links, a multitude of joints coupling the multitude of links, and a multitude of sensors configured to sense configuration information of the linkage. A physical movement of the display corresponds to a configuration change of the linkage. The robotic system further includes a processor coupled to the multitude of sensors. The processor is configured to obtain sensor signals from the multitude of sensors, the sensor signals indicative of the configuration change, and adjust the image in response to the sensor signals.

Abstract: Methods and systems for registering a manipulator assembly and independently positionable surgical table are provided herein. In one aspect, methods include reading a fiducial marker on the surgical table with a sensor associated with the manipulator assembly and localizing the manipulator assembly and surgical table with respect to a common reference frame. Methods may further include translating a 3D configuration of the surgical table to a 2D frame of reference so as to estimate a 3D pose of the surgical table relative the manipulator assembly for use in coordinating movements therebetween.
