Systems and methods for navigation and visualization
First Claim
1. A system for visualizing a surgical site, the system comprising:
- a robotic mechanism for performing a procedure on a patient;
an imaging device coupled to the robotic mechanism, the imaging device configured to provide image data of a site of interest;
a computing device coupled to the imaging device, the computing device including one or more processors and at least one memory device configured to store executable instructions, the executable instructions, when executed by the processor, configured to;
receive the image data of the site of interest;
differentiate between at least one object of interest and at least one detected obstruction based on movement patterns and color variations;
filter the received image data to remove the at least one detected obstruction and recreate pixels related to the at least one detected obstruction based on at least one of (i) one or more buffered frames and (ii) one or more pixels adjacent to the pixels related to the at least one detected obstruction;
generate an output frame from the filtered image data; and
at least one of cease filtering and alert when the at least one detected obstruction exceeds a predetermined size threshold of the image of the site of interest; and
a presentation interface device coupled to the computing device, the presentation interface device configured to present the output frame for visualization of the site of interest.

Abstract
A system for visualizing a surgical site is provided. The system includes a robotic mechanism for performing a procedure on a patient, an imaging device coupled to the robotic mechanism, the imaging device configured to provide image data of a site of interest, and a computing device coupled to the imaging device. The computing device includes one or more processors and at least one memory device configured to store executable instructions. The executable instructions, when executed by the processor, are configured to receive the image data of the site of interest, track motion patterns of the site of interest in the received image data, filter the received image data to remove line-of-sight restrictions therein and alter pixels therein based on the tracked motion patterns, and generate an output frame from the filtered image data. The system also includes a presentation interface device coupled to the computing device and configured to present the output frame for visualization of the site of interest.
