Abstract: An illustrative apparatus may obtain an image frame captured by an image capture system in accordance with an auto-exposure parameter set to a first setting. The image frame may include a first image component associated with visible light and a second image component associated with non-visible light. The apparatus may determine a first auto-exposure gain based on the first image component and may determine a second auto-exposure gain based on the second image component. Based on the first and second auto-exposure gains, the apparatus may determine a second setting for the auto-exposure parameter. The second setting may be configured to be used by the image capture system to capture a subsequent image frame. Corresponding apparatuses, systems, and methods for managing auto-exposure of multi-component image frames are also disclosed.

Abstract: A two-by-two pixel array within an image sensor includes a first pixel, a second pixel, a third pixel, and a fourth pixel. A red filter covers the first pixel, a first blue filter covers the second pixel, a second blue filter covers the third pixel, and a green filter covers the fourth pixel. The red filter is configured to allow the first pixel to collect a red component of visible light and prevent the first pixel from collecting blue and green components of the visible light. The first and second blue filters are configured to allow the second and third pixels to each collect the blue component and prevent the second and third pixels from collecting the red and green components. The green filter is configured to allow the fourth pixel to collect the green component and prevent the fourth pixel from collecting the red and blue components.

Abstract: Technology described herein can be embodied in a method that includes obtaining, using an endoscopic camera, a plurality of images of the surgical scene, each image in the plurality of images being obtained under illumination by electromagnetic radiation in a corresponding wavelength range. The corresponding wavelength ranges are selected in accordance with a set of chromophores present in the surgical scene, and any two of the corresponding wavelength ranges partially non-overlapping. The method also includes determining, based on the plurality of images, a concentration of each of one or more chromophores in the set at various portions of the surgical scene, and generating, by one or more processing devices, based on information about the concentration of each of the one or more chromophores, a representation of the surgical scene. The method further includes presenting the representation of the surgical scene on an output 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 example method includes determining an estimated pixel noise parameter based on a signal level of a first pixel of the first frame of pixel data; determining a difference between the signal level of the first pixel and at least a signal level of a second pixel; obtaining a filtered pixel based at least in part on a comparison of the difference to the estimated pixel noise parameter; and outputting the filtered pixel to an output frame of filtered pixel data.

Abstract: An illustrative apparatus may identify, in an image frame captured by an image capture system, an object region corresponding to a depiction of an object portrayed in the image frame. The apparatus may determine a frame auto-exposure value for the image frame by discounting the object region in the image frame. Based on the frame auto-exposure value, 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: An exemplary fluorescence imaging control system may direct, during a surgical procedure performed with a computer-assisted surgical system, an illumination source included in the computer-assisted surgical system to illuminate a scene associated with the surgical procedure with fluorescence excitation illumination configured to excite a fluorophore present at the scene and direct an imaging device included in the computer-assisted surgical system to detect, during the surgical procedure, fluorescence emitted by the fluorophore in response to excitation of the fluorophore by the fluorescence excitation illumination. The fluorescence imaging control system may determine, based on the detected fluorescence, a lifetime of the fluorescence and determine, based on the determined lifetime of the fluorescence, an identity of the fluorophore. The fluorescence imaging control system may configure, during the surgical procedure and based on the determined identity of the fluorophore, operation of the computer-assisted surgical system.

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.
