Environment capture management techniques

A system for image capture during an internal medical procedure performed within a body of a patient, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
• capturing, during the internal medical procedure, video of the internal medical procedure from one or more video sources;
• displaying a video stream of the internal medical procedure captured by the one or more video sources in substantially real-time;
• storing, concurrently with the displaying, the captured video of the internal medical procedure in a cached memory as stored video;
• performing an analysis of the stored video to detect a specific event occurring during the internal medical procedure as a triggering event;
• receiving one or more predetermined parameters for capturing a video segment;
• in response to detecting the triggering event, capturing the video segment;
• prior to receiving the triggering event, buffering one or more segments of the stored video based on the one or more predetermined parameters;
• storing a modified video that includes the captured video segment prepended with the one or more buffered video segments based on the one or more predetermined parameters;
• capturing a plurality of frames of the stored video based on the one or more predetermined parameters and based on an onset and cessation of the triggering event, the plurality of frames extending over a time window that includes the triggering event, with one or more frames of the plurality of frames occurring before the triggering event and one or more frames of the plurality of frames occurring after the triggering event;
• and
• storing one or more still images from the plurality of frames of the stored video.

A method for image capture during an internal medical procedure performed within a body of a patient, the method comprising:

• recording video from one or more video sources, the recording occurring during the internal medical procedure performed within the body of the patient;
• storing the recorded video in a cached memory as stored video;
• performing an analysis of the stored video to detect a specific event occurring during the internal medical procedure performed within the body of the patient as a triggering event;
• and
• in response to detecting the triggering event, capturing a video segment from the stored video based on an onset and cessation of the triggering event.
