US 12,014,815 B2 · Systems and methods for recording medical environments

Abstract

Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with generating a multi-dimensional representation of a medical environment based on images of the medical environments. Various pre-processing and/or post-processing operations may be performed to supplement and/or improve the multi-dimensional representation. These operations may include determining semantic information associated with the medical environment based on the images and adding the semantic information to the multi-dimensional representation in addition to space and time information. The operations may also include anonymizing a person presented in the multi-dimensional representation, adding synthetic views to the multi-dimensional representation, improving the quality of the multi-dimensional representation, etc. The multi-dimensional representation of the medical environment generated using these techniques may allow a user to experience and explore the medical environment, for example, via a virtual reality device.

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors configured to:
obtain a first set of images of a medical environment and a second set of images of the medical environment, wherein the first set of images is associated with a first viewpoint and the second set of images is associated with a second viewpoint;
determining first semantic information associated with the medical environment based on the first set of images or the second set of images;
generate a multi-dimensional representation of the medical environment based on at least the first set of images, the second set of images, and the first semantic information, wherein the multi-dimensional representation includes multiple views of the medical environment over a time period, a first subset of the multiple views is associated with the first viewpoint, a second subset of the multiple views is associated with the second viewpoint, and at least one of the multiple views of the medical environment includes a presentation of the first semantic information;
and
provide the multi-dimensional representation of the medical environment to a receiving device.
