System and methods for video image processing

摘要

Certain embodiments of the present invention include a system and methods for providing a video image display technology with separate video perspective displays. Each perspective display may be tailored and adapted in real-time to the differing roles of each user, e.g., one or more medical professionals of a surgical team. As an example, one video perspective display may be a panoramic perspective display for a primary surgeon and a second video perspective may be a detailed perspective display for the surgical assistant.

主权项

1. A system for producing a panoramic perspective display and a detailed perspective display from a single video image source, comprising:
capturing an input video image into a first frame memory to obtain a first image; cropping a selected area of the first image from the first frame memory to obtain a cropped image; conducting interpolation to map the cropped image into a second frame memory; copying to a display buffer the first image from the first frame memory and the cropped image from the second frame memory; displaying from the display buffer the first image on a first user interface and the cropped image on a second user interface; and reconfiguring in real-time at least one of the first image and cropped image to meet changing surgical needs during a surgical operation.
