Apparatus for automated panning and digital zooming in robotic surgical systems
First Claim
1. A digital zoom and panning system for digital video, the system comprising:
- an image acquisition device to capture digital video images;
an image buffer coupled to the image acquisition device, the image buffer to store one or more frames of digital video images as source pixels;
a first display device having first pixels to display images;
a first digital mapping and filtering device coupled to the image buffer, the first digital mapping and filtering device to selectively map and filter source pixels in a first source rectangle from the image buffer into target pixels in a first destination rectangle of the first display device; and
a first user interface displayed on the first display device to accept a first user input, including the first source rectangle to select first source pixels within frames of the digital video images and the first destination rectangle to select target pixels within the first display device to display images.
