Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and non-transitory computer storage media for generating an ambient occlusion (AO) map for a 2D image that can be combined with the 2D image to adjust the contrast of the 2D image based on the geometric information in the 2D image. In embodiments, using a trained neural network, an AO map for a 2D image is automatically generated without any predefined 3D scene information. Optimizing the neural network to generate an estimated AO map for a 2D image requires training, testing, and validating the neural network using a synthetic dataset comprised of pairs of images and ground truth AO maps rendered from 3D scenes. By using an estimated AO map to adjust the contrast of a 2D image, the contrast of the image can be adjusted to make the image appear lifelike by modifying the shadows and shading in the image based on the ambient lighting present in the image.

Abstract: A controller controls an image that is captured by an image sensor of an endoscope and is displayed on the display screen of a display device. The controller includes a processor. The processor acquires a first image that is an image captured by the image sensor, detects a first angle of a surgical instrument, and generates a second image rotated with respect to the first image on the basis of the first angle and a predetermined target angle. The first angle is an angle formed by the surgical instrument in the first image with respect to a predetermined reference line that is set with respect to a plane of the first image. A second angle formed by the surgical instrument in the second image with respect to the predetermined reference line is equal to the predetermined target angle.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes an endoscope, a moving device that moves the endoscope, a storage unit, and a processor. The storage unit stores first position information and first rotation angle information, which defines a rotation angle of an endoscope image of a first region, on the first region in a subject and second position information and second rotation angle information, which defines a rotation angle of an endoscope image of a second region, on the second region in the subject. The processor calculates third rotation angle information on a third region in the subject based on the first and second position information, the first and second rotation angle information, and third position information on the third region. If the third region includes the current imaging region, the processor rotates the endoscope image based on the third rotation angle information and outputs the rotated endoscope image to the display device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for modifying voxel-based 3D representations using 3D digital brush tools and/or resolution filters. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize 3D digital brush tools (e.g., a digital blur brush tool, a digital smudge brush tool, and/or a digital melt brush tool) to identify and modify one or more voxels within a 3D representation using multiple buffers of visual properties. Additionally, the disclosed systems can modify one or more voxels within a 3D representation by rendering the one or more voxels at varying levels of detail using an octree (e.g., a mosaic filter tool). In particular, the disclosed systems can identify one or more voxels within an octree that are smaller than a target voxel size. Moreover, the disclosed systems can combine the identified one or more voxels within the octree to render the 3D representation at varying levels of detail.
