Abstract: Systems for and methods for in situ optimization of tunable light emitting diode sources are disclosed herein. During operation, the systems and methods obtain real-time feedback from an image sensor, and that feedback is used to tune the tunable LEDs. By tuning the tunable LEDs, the best values for the LED spectral output can be selected based on the feedback from the image sensor, and an image with improved contrast is obtained. Alternatively, the amount of time to obtain an image with acceptable contrast is reduced.

Abstract: A drug screening system and methods of using the same are disclosed. The drug screening system identifies and highlights drugs or other contraband substances enclosed within mailpieces based on score imagery computed from selected wavelengths based on chemical signatures. A wide-field, multispectral short-wave infrared imaging system allows for dissolved, concealed drug screening of mailpieces that improve inspection efficiency and accuracy.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products of fusing Molecular Chemical Imaging (MCI) and Red Green Blue (RGB) images are disclosed herein. A sample is illuminated with illuminating photons which interact with the sample and are used to form MCI and RGB images. The MCI and RGB images are fused by way of mathematical operations to generate a RGB image with a detection overlay.

Abstract: A method which may effectively provide an endoscope or other surgical instrument with a synthetic multi-camera array may comprise capturing using one or more cameras located at a distal tip of the surgical instrument, a set of images comprising first and second images. For each image in such set of images, that image may be captured by a corresponding camera from the one or more cameras, may be captured when the distal dip of the instrument is located at a corresponding point in space. Such a method may also comprise generating a three dimensional image based on compositing representations of a structure in the first and second image after applying a non-rigid transformation to one or more of those representations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the detection of calculi in the biliary system are disclosed. The systems include an illumination source, one or more filters that filter a first set of illumination photons and a second set of illumination photons, as well as associated processors and detectors. The system is also designed to generates image data sets and generated information related to the location of the calculi.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and surgical video analysis devices are disclosed that provide an improved, automated surgical report generation. With this technology, a video associated with a surgical procedure comprising a plurality of frames is obtained. The plurality of frames of the obtained video are compared to a historical set of surgical procedure images, wherein the historical set of surgical procedure images are associated with contextual information. One or more objects of interest are identified in at least a subset of the plurality of frames based on the comparison and the associated contextual information. The identified one or more objects of interest are tracked across the at least the subset of the plurality of frames. A surgical report based on tracked one or more objects.

Abstract: An endoscope has an improved chip-on-tip configuration that includes both a first configuration of source illumination fibers and a second plurality of source illumination fibers, along with a camera chip. The combination of the camera chip and the source illumination fibers on the tip of the endoscope results in endoscopes with reduced size and weight.
