Augmented surgical reality environment
First Claim
1. An augmented reality surgical system for viewing an augmented image of a region of interest, the system comprising:
- an image capture device configured to capture an image of the region of interest inside a patient;
a sensor array configured to capture data of a surgical environment;
a controller configured to receive the image and data from the sensor array and apply at least one image processing filter to the image and data to generate the augmented image, the image processing filter including;
a spatial decomposition filter configured to decompose the image into a plurality of spatial frequency bands;
a temporal filter configured to be applied to the plurality of spatial frequency bands to generate a plurality of temporally filtered bands;
an adder configured to add each band in the plurality of spatial frequency bands to a corresponding band in the plurality of temporally filtered bands to generate a plurality of augmented bands; and
a reconstruction filter configured to generate the augmented image by collapsing the plurality of augmented bands; and
a display configured to display the augmented image to a user.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to an augmented reality surgical system for viewing an augmented image of a region of interest during a surgical procedure. The system includes an image capture device that captures an image of the region of interest. A controller receives the image and applies at least one image processing filter to the image. The image processing filter includes a spatial decomposition filter that decomposes the image into spatial frequency bands. A temporal filter is applied to the spatial frequency bands to generate temporally filtered bands. An adder adds each band spatial frequency band to a corresponding temporally filtered band to generate augmented bands. A reconstruction filter generates an augmented image by collapsing the augmented bands. A display displays the augmented image to a user.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
-
decompose image data having data from a sensor array including an imperceptible property of an object; generate a plurality of spatial frequency bands from the decomposed image data; temporally filter the plurality of spatial frequency bands; generate a plurality of temporally filtered bands; add each of the spatial frequency bands to a corresponding band of the temporally filtered bands; collapse the added bands; generate an augmented image with improved perceptibility of the imperceptible property from the collapsing of the added bands; and output the augmented image. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
