SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECORDING MEDICAL ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240029867 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECORDING MEDICAL ENVIRONMENTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes systems, methods, and instrumentalities for generating a multi-dimensional representation of a medical environment based on images of the medical environments. Various pre-processing and/or post-processing operations can be performed to supplement and improve the multi-dimensional representation. These operations include determining semantic information associated with the medical environment based on the images and adding the semantic information to the multi-dimensional representation in addition to space and time information. Other operations include anonymizing a person presented in the multi-dimensional representation, adding synthetic views to the multi-dimensional representation, and improving the quality of the multi-dimensional representation. The multi-dimensional representation generated using these techniques allows a user to experience and explore the medical environment, for example, via a virtual reality device.
