Abstract: According to one aspect of an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, a system and method for adaptively altering the presentation color for an overlay to be presented along with a camera image on a display of a radiography system includes the steps of providing an imaging system having a radiation source, a detector, and a camera aligned with the detector. A control processing unit including image processing circuitry is operably connected to the camera to generate a camera image(s) of the subject and the detector. The camera image analyzed by the image processing circuitry to determine the region of interest (ROI) within the camera image and the dominant color(s) present in the ROI, such that presentation color for the overlay can be automatically adjusted to a complementary color for monochromatic camera images or to a high contrast color for chromatic camera images to increase the visibility of the overlay.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for calibrating a camera-based feature detection system for an x-ray system having a support surface, and a gantry operably connected to the support surface and a light source disposed on the gantry, where the gantry defines a system referential. The x-ray system includes a camera spaced from the gantry and operably connected to a calibration system, the camera defining a camera referential within which the support surface and gantry are positioned. The calibration system registers the camera referential to the system referential by operating the light source to position an indication on the support surface and by obtaining a number of camera images of the indication on the support surface and corresponding indication location in the system referential.
