SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEPTH-BASED MEASUREMENT IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIEW - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240341568 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEPTH-BASED MEASUREMENT IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIEW

The abstract describes a system that utilizes computer-readable instructions to receive endoscope calibration data, generate a virtual camera, create an endoscopic image, receive marked points in the image, and determine if a 3D surface model has been generated. If a surface model exists, a perturbation in the virtual camera is generated, and a curvilinear segment on the surface model is created between the marked points. A mixed reality image is then generated, combining the curvilinear segment and the endoscopic image.

  • System receives endoscope calibration data
  • Generates a virtual camera based on the calibration data
  • Creates an endoscopic image
  • Receives marked points in the image
  • Determines if a 3D surface model has been generated
  • Generates a perturbation in the virtual camera if a surface model exists
  • Creates a curvilinear segment on the surface model between marked points
  • Generates a mixed reality image combining the segment and the endoscopic image

Potential Applications: - Medical imaging and diagnostics - Surgical planning and navigation - Virtual reality training for medical professionals

Problems Solved: - Enhances visualization and accuracy in endoscopic procedures - Improves understanding of anatomical structures - Facilitates communication between medical teams

Benefits: - Increased precision in medical procedures - Enhanced training opportunities for healthcare professionals - Improved patient outcomes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Endoscopic Imaging System for Medical Applications" This technology can be utilized in hospitals, clinics, and medical training facilities for various endoscopic procedures, enhancing patient care and medical education.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve the accuracy of endoscopic procedures? 2. What are the potential limitations of using mixed reality images in medical settings?

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are constantly exploring new ways to improve the accuracy and efficiency of endoscopic imaging systems, with a focus on real-time image processing and augmented reality integration.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. the computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to receive endoscope calibration data, generate a virtual camera based on the calibration data, generate an endoscopic image, receive first and second marked points in the endoscopic image, and determine if a three-dimensional surface model has been generated. if a surface model has been generated, a perturbation in the virtual camera is generated. a curvilinear segment on the surface model may be generated between the first and second marked points and a mixed reality image, including the curvilinear segment and the endoscopic image, may be generated.
