Abstract: Conformal vision with enhanced image processing of the outputted image is incorporated into novel applications. The conformal vision provides enhanced contrast by the combined inclusion of tunable filters and processing of the images that are generated by the detector. Furthermore, novel uses and applications of the conformal vision enable users to make determinations related to their health and wellness utilizing information provided by the conformal vision.

Abstract: A method of operating a surgical visualization system includes illuminating an anatomical field of a patient using a waveform transmitted by an emitter. The method also includes capturing an image of the anatomical field based on the waveform using a receiver. The emitter and the receiver are configured for multispectral imaging or hyperspectral imaging. The method also includes determining an adjustment to at one operating parameter of the surgical visualization system based on at least one environmental scene parameter. The method also includes automatically implementing the adjustment to the at least one operating parameter to aid in identification of at least one anatomical structure in the anatomical field.

Abstract: Raman spectroscopy data is collected using a Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer and processed in order to reduce signal noise. The processing of the Raman spectroscopy data includes segmenting generating an interferogram from the Raman spectroscopy data, segmenting the interferogram, determining an estimate of power spectrum density, and averaging the estimates of power spectrum density for each segment to provide an output spectrum. The output spectrum has greatly reduced variance of the individual power measurements, and allows the length of segments to be optimized to balance noise reduction operations and the loss of frequency resolution.
