US 11,992,273 B2 · System and method of displaying images from imaging devices

Abstract

A system and method of displaying images from an imaging device includes a display device and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to track movement of an imaging device, determine a display-device-to-imaging-window transform based on the tracked movement and a corresponding command to move the imaging device, and render an image received from the imaging device on the display device at a position and orientation on the display device based on the display-device-to-imaging-window transform. In some embodiments, the display-device-to-imaging-window transform is determined based on at least one of a difference between: a commanded and an actual position of the imaging device, a commanded and an actual orientation of the imaging device, a commanded and an estimated position of the imaging device, or a commanded and an estimated orientation of the imaging device.

Dependent claims

A computer-assisted device comprising:

a display device;
and
one or more processors coupled to the display device, the one or more processors being configured to:
track movement of an imaging device to determine an actual position of the imaging device or an actual orientation of the imaging device;
determine a display-device-to-imaging-window transform based on a difference, the difference selected from a group consisting of:
a difference between a commanded position of the imaging device and the actual position of the imaging device, and
a difference between a commanded orientation of the imaging device and the actual orientation of the imaging device;
and
display an imaging window on the display device at a position and orientation on the display device based on the display-device-to-imaging-window transform;
and
render an image from the imaging device in the imaging window.

8 more elements

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions which when executed by one or more processors are adapted to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

tracking movement of an imaging device to determine:
an actual position of the imaging device or an actual orientation of the imaging device;
determining a display-device-to-imaging-window transform based on a difference, the difference selected from the group consisting of:
a difference between a commanded position of the imaging device and the actual position of the imaging device, and
a difference between a commanded orientation of the imaging device and the actual orientation of the imaging device;
and
displaying an imaging window on a display device at a position and orientation on the display device based on the display-device-to-imaging-window transform;
and
rendering an image from the imaging device in the imaging window.
