Publication number: 20230222624Abstract: A system and method of providing composite real-time dynamic imagery of a medical procedure site from multiple modalities which continuously and immediately depicts the current state and condition of the medical procedure site synchronously with respect to each modality and without undue latency is disclosed. The composite real-time dynamic imagery may be provided by spatially registering multiple real-time dynamic video streams from the multiple modalities to each other. Spatially registering the multiple real-time dynamic video streams to each other may provide a continuous and immediate depiction of the medical procedure site with an unobstructed and detailed view of a region of interest at the medical procedure site at multiple depths. A user may thereby view a single, accurate, and current composite real-time dynamic imagery of a region of interest at the medical procedure site as the user performs a medical procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Kurtis P.

Publication number: 20110057930Abstract: A system and method for providing high-speed, high-resolution three-dimensional imagery for endoscopy, particularly of a tissue surface at a medical procedure site is disclosed. High-resolution imagery provides greater detail of the tissue surface, but requires high-speed depth-frame imaging to provide timely updated depth information. A pattern of light, such as a point of light for example, may be projected onto the tissue surface and a reflected image analyzed to determine depth information. The point of light can be projected and analyzed quickly to produce faster depth-frame image rates. Three-dimensional structured-light depth resolution information may be generated and combined with either a two-dimensional image or a two-dimensional stereo image to provide three-dimensional imagery of the tissue surface. Switching between three-dimensional images and one of the two-dimensional image and a two-dimensional stereo image may also be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Applicant: INNEROPTIC TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: Kurtis P.

Publication number: 20100045783Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic virtual convergence (218) and a video see through head mountable display (200) that uses dynamic virtual convergence are disclosed. A dynamic virtual convergence algorithm (218) includes sampling an image with two cameras. The cameras each have a field of view that is larger than a field of view of displays used to display images sampled by the cameras (210). A heuristic is used to estimate the gaze distance of the viewer. The display frustums are transformed so that they converge at the estimated gaze distance. The images sampled by the cameras (210) are then reprojected into the transformed display frustums. The reprojected images are displayed to the user to simulate viewing of close range objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2009Publication date: February 25, 2010Inventors: Andrei State, Kurtis P.

Patent number: 7385708Abstract: Laser-based methods and systems for real-time structured light depth extraction are disclosed. A laser light source (100) produces a collimated beam of laser light. A pattern generator (102) generates structured light patterns including a plurality of pixels. The beam of laser light emanating from the laser light source (100) interacts with the patterns to project the patterns onto the object of interest (118). The patterns are reflected from the object of interest (118) and detected using a high-speed, low-resolution detector (106). A broadband light source (111) illuminates the object with broadband/light, and a separate high-resolution, low-speed detector (108) detects broadband light reflected from the object (118). A real-time structured light depth extraction engine/controller (110) based on the transmitted and reflected patterns and the reflected broadband light.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: The University of North Carolina at Chapel HillInventors: Jeremy D.
