  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING WORKSPACE VOLUMES AND IDENTIFYING REACHABLE WORKSPACES OF SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS
    Publication number: 20220211270
    Abstract: A method comprises generating a workspace volume indicating an operational region of reach. The method further comprises referencing the workspace volume to an image capture reference frame of an image capture device, and the image capture device captures image data. The method further comprises determining a reachable workspace portion of the image data that is within the workspace volume. In some embodiments, the method further comprises determining an unreachable portion of the image data that is outside of the workspace volume. In other embodiments, the method further comprises displaying the reachable workspace portion of the image data without the unreachable portion of the image data. In still other embodiments, the method further comprises displaying a false graphic in place of the unreachable portion of the image data.
