Abstract
A cognitive optical system for dynamically refining imaging during a medical procedure, involving a processor operable by a set of executable instructions storable in relation to a non-transitory memory device. The processor is configured to automatically adjust an image by automatically compensating for at least one external factor affecting an anatomical area being viewed, automatically adjusting at least one imaging parameter, and automatically adjusting at least one internal control of an optical chain, whereby a quality of the image is improvable in real time.
Claims20
A cognitive optical system for dynamically refining an image, having at least one imaging parameter, during a medical procedure, the system comprising:
- a processor operable by a set of executable instructions storable in relation to a non-transitory memory device and configured to automatically adjust the image by fine-tuning an optical chain based on at least one input parameter,
- the processor configured to fine-tune the optical chain by using at least one of a machine learning technique and an artificial intelligence technique,
- the processor configured to perform any dynamic parameter adjustment by using a hierarchal structure, whereby optimization degradation of one imaging parameter of the at least one imaging parameter by optimization of another imaging parameter of the at least one imaging parameter is avoided, and
- the processor configured to fine-tune the optical chain by effecting micro-adjustments thereto.
A method of fabricating a cognitive optical system for dynamically refining an image, corresponding to at least one imaging parameter, during a medical procedure, the method comprising:
- providing a processor operable by a set of executable instructions storable in relation to a non-transitory memory device and configured to automatically adjust the image by fine-tuning an optical chain based on at least one input parameter,
- providing the processor comprising configuring the processor to fine-tune the optical chain by using at least one of a machine learning technique and an artificial intelligence technique,
- providing the processor comprising configuring the processor to perform any dynamic parameter adjustment by using a hierarchal structure, whereby optimization degradation of one imaging parameter of the at least one imaging parameter by optimization of another imaging parameter of the at least one imaging parameter is avoided, and
- providing the processor comprising configuring the processor to fine-tune the optical chain by effecting micro-adjustments thereto.
