CAMERA SYSTEM WITH AUTONOMOUS MINIATURE CAMERA AND LIGHT SOURCE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR IMAGE ENHANCEMENT

摘要

The present Invention relates to a camera system suitable for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS ), among other applications. In at least one embodiment, the camera system includes an autonomous miniature camera, a light source assembly providing features such as steerable illumination and a variable radiation angle, and a control and processing unit for processing images acquired by the camera Io generate improved images having reduced blurring using a deblurring algorithm.
