Systems and methods for changing display overlay of surgical field view based on triggering events

A surgical system, comprising:

• an imaging device;
• a display configured to show a livestream of a surgical field of a surgical procedure, wherein the livestream is captured by the imaging device;
• and
• a control system operably coupled to the imaging device, and the display wherein the control system is configured to:
• overlay, on the livestream, information associated with the surgical procedure;
• determine a step of the surgical procedure;
• set a triggering event count representing a number of detected partial triggering events within the surgical field;
• detect a plurality of partial triggering events, wherein the plurality of partial triggering events comprise a negative triggering event;
• determine an amount by which to decrement the triggering event count based on the negative triggering event;
• adjust the triggering event count, based at least in part on the amount by which to decrement the triggering event count, by incrementing or decrementing the triggering event count based on the detected plurality of partial triggering events;
• detect the occurrence of the triggering event based on detecting the triggering event count reaching or exceeding a triggering event threshold.
