  • Patent number: 12039734
    Abstract: Methods for improving object recognition using depth data are disclosed. An image is captured of a 3-D scene along with depth data, such as in the form of a point cloud. The depth data is correlated with the image of the captured scene, such as by determining the frame of reference of each of the image and the depth data, thereby allowing the depth data to be mapped to the correct corresponding pixels of the image. Object recognition on the image is then improved by employing the correlated depth data. The depth data may be captured contemporaneously with the image of the 3-D scene, such as by using photogrammetry, or at a different time.

  • Patent number: 11998400
    Abstract: Medical software tools platforms utilize a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist surgeons or surgical team in performing various procedures. In particular, an endoscopic camera may register the momentary rise in the optical signature reflected from a tissue surface and in turn transmit it to a medical image processing system which can also receive patient heart rate data and display relevant anomalies. Changes in various spectral components and the speed at which they change in relation to a source of stimulus (heartbeat, breathing, light source modulation, etc.) may indicate the arrival of blood, contrast agents or oxygen absorption. Combinations of these may indicate various states of differing disease or margins of tumors, and so forth. Also, changes in temperatures, physical dimensions, pressures, photoacoustic pressures and the rate of change may indicate tissue anomalies in comparison to historic values.
