    Abstract: A method for intelligent manual adjustment of a manually rotatable focus control of a camera may comprise determining a depth value of a target area relative to the camera and determining a desirable focus adjustment according to a direction and an amount that a focal point of the camera is to be moved in order to coincide with the depth value of the target area. The method may also comprise assisting an operator of the manually rotatable focus control to the desirable focus adjustment by providing a haptic force on the manually rotatable focus control that decreases as the focal point of the camera moves toward the depth value of the target area and increases as the focal point of the camera moves away from the depth value of the target area.

    Abstract: An exemplary system includes a scene processing module configured to receive a single frame comprising a first set of pixel data comprising a first combined scene including a fluorescence scene component and a second set of pixel data comprising a second combined scene including a combination of a visible color component scene and the fluorescence scene component. The scene processing module is further configured to extract a display fluorescence scene component from the first combined scene and extract a display visible scene component from the second combined scene. The system further includes a display unit configured to generate, based on the display fluorescence scene component and the display visible scene component, a displayed scene.

    Abstract: A bleeding detection system may receive, from an image capture system during a surgical procedure, a first frame of data of a scene of a surgical site and identify, based on the first frame, a region of blood in the scene. The system may receive, from the image capture system subsequent to receiving the first frame, a second frame of data of the scene, the second frame including data representative of the region of blood. The system may estimate, based on the first frame and the second frame, motion of blood flow in the region of blood and generate data representative of a combined image comprising the second frame and a visual indicator indicating the motion of blood flow in the region of blood. The system may transmit, during the surgical procedure, the data representative of the combined image to a display unit for display of the combined image.

    Abstract: An imaging system comprises an image capturing device, a viewer, a control element, and a processor. The control element controls or adjusts an image characteristic of one of the image capturing device and the viewer. The processor is programmed to determine a depth value relative to the image capturing device, determine a desirable adjustment to the control element by using the determined depth value, and control adjustment of the control element to assist manual adjustment of the control element to the desirable adjustment. The processor may also be programmed to determine whether the adjustment of the control element is to be automatically or manually adjusted and control adjustment of the control element automatically to the desirable adjustment if the control element is to be automatically adjusted.

    Abstract: An efficient demosaicing method includes reconstructing missing green pixels after estimating green-red color difference signals and green-blue color difference signals that are used in the reconstruction, and then constructing missing red and blue pixels using the color difference signals. This method creates a full resolution frame of red, green and blue pixels. The full resolution frame of pixels is sent to a display unit for display. In an efficient demosaicing process that includes local contrast enhancement, image contrast is enhanced to build and boost a brightness component from the green pixels, and to build chromatic components from all of the red, green, and blue pixels. Color difference signals are used in place of the red and blue pixels in building the chromatic components.
