Appl. No.:

17/116976

Inventors:

- Goleta CA, US
Marios Kyperountas - Goleta CA, US

Assignee:

KARL STORZ Imaging, Inc. - Goleta CA

International Classification:

G02B 23/24
A61B 1/05
H04N 5/225

Abstract:

Endoscopic camera head devices and methods are provided using light captured by an endoscope system. Substantially afocal light from the endoscope is manipulated and split. After passing through focusing optics, another beamsplitter is used to split the light again, this time in image space, producing four portions of light that may be further manipulated. The four portions of light are focused onto separate areas of two image sensors. The manipulation of the beams can take several forms, each offering distinct advantages over existing systems when individually displayed, analyzed and/or combined by an image processor.

Inventors:

- Goleta CA, US
Marios Kyperountas - Goleta CA, US

Assignee:

KARL STORZ Imaging, Inc. - Goleta CA

International Classification:

H04N 5/232
A61B 1/00

Abstract:

A system and method includes operations and steps for obtaining a moving endoscopic image. An optical device stream is received from an optical device by data processing hardware. The data processing hardware identify image frames of the image stream, each including a plurality of rows of pixels. The data processing hardware determines a row exposure value for each of the rows of pixels in each frame, and identifies a defective image frame having at least one overexposed row and a reference frame having a replacement row corresponding to the overexposed row. The data processing hardware modifies the defective image frame by replacing the overexposed row with the corresponding replacement row of the reference frame.

International Classification:

A61B 1/00
A61B 90/00
G06N 3/02
G16H 20/40

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for automated endoscopic device control systems. In one embodiment, an example endoscopic device control system may include memory that stores computer-executable instructions, and at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to determine a first image from an endoscopic imaging system comprising a camera and a scope, determine, using the first image, that a first condition is present, determine a first response action to implement using a first endoscopic device, and automatically cause the first endoscopic device to implement the first response action.

Abstract:

Medical imaging camera head devices and methods are provided using light captured by an endoscope system or other medical scope or borescope. Afocal light from the scope is manipulated and split. The resulting first and second beams are passed through focusing optics to a single sensor. To take better advantage of the available number image sensor pixels, the beam may pass through lens elements (or prisms) to generate an anamorphic aspect ratio prior to being split, increasing the resolution of the image in one dimension. The afocal anamorphic beam is then split, and both images are focused on the image sensor. The anamorphism is compensated for in image processing, permitting higher resolution in one dimension along the image sensor. The manipulation of the beams prior to being split (and in some cases after or while being split) can take several forms, each offering distinct advantages over existing systems.
