Patent number: 10496898Abstract: A set of virtual images can be generated based on one or more real images and target rendering specifications, such that the set of virtual images correspond to (for example) different rendering specifications (or combinations thereof) than do the real images. An image style can be transferred to the at least some of the virtual images of the set of virtual images to generate a stylized virtual image. A machine-learning model can be trained using a plurality of stylized virtual images. Another real image can then be processed using the trained machine-learning model. The processing can include segmenting the other real image to detect whether and/or which objects are represented (and/or a state of the object). The object data can then be used to identify (for example) a state of a procedure.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Digital Surgery LimitedInventors: Odysseas Zisimopoulos, Evangello Flouty, Imanol Luengo Muntion, Mark Stacey, Sam Muscroft, Petros Giataganas, Andre Chow, Jean Nehme, Danail Stoyanov

Patent number: 9922172Abstract: In some embodiments, surgical data structure is accessed that includes a plurality of nodes (relating to a plurality of discrete procedural states for a surgical procedure and being associated with procedural metadata) connected by a plurality of edges. Each edge can be associated with a procedural action causing a state transition. A new node can be generated based on an identification of a new procedural state. A first and second node from the plurality of nodes can be identified, to which the new node is to be connected. Edges can be generated to connect the new node to the first and second nodes.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Digital Surgery LimitedInventors: Omar Alvi, Andre Chow, James Kellerman, James Liu, Danail Stoyanov
