  • Publication number: 20230035060
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230013884
    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.

  • Patent number: 11499912
    Abstract: In order to avoid friendly fire incidents in the combat theater, novel covert identification systems and methods of identifying friendly forces are provided. The systems include at least a spectroscopic imaging device and a marker that interact with each other by using a synchronized, predetermined filter tuning sequence. The filter tuning sequence enables interacted photons to wavelength hop according to the predetermined tuning sequence. As a result, the covert identification system allows friendly forces to clearly identify each while avoiding detection by enemy forces that employ conventional broadband and night vision sensors.

  • Publication number: 20210353225
    Abstract: Methods and systems of identifying oral cancer in vivo are disclosed. An oral cavity of a patient is illuminated with a plurality of illuminating photons. A plurality of interacted photos are received from the oral cavity. The interacted photons may have been absorbed, reflected, scattered or emitted by the oral cavity. The interacted photons are filtered into first and second polarized multi-passband wavelengths using first and second tunable conformal filters, respectively. A detector captures the first and second polarized multi-passband wavelengths. A processor automatically discriminates between cancerous tissue and non-cancerous tissue in an image resolved from the first and second polarized multi-passband wavelengths.
