Abstract
A system and method may be used to position or orient a camera within a surgical field. A method may include generating a graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera, and determining whether the camera is within a target volume location. The method may include automatically outputting an indication when the camera is within the target volume location. The method may include outputting a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser, coupled to or integrated into the camera, to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera.
Claims27
A system comprising:
- a camera to detect a tracker coupled to a robotic surgical device;
- a display device;
- and
- processing circuitry coupled to memory, including processing instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- generate a graphical user interface for presentation on the display device, the graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera;
- determine whether the camera is within a target volume location;
- in response to determining that the camera is within the target volume location, automatically output an indication that the camera is within the target volume location;
- output a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser of the camera to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera;
- and
- optionally confirm that the camera is within the target volume location and properly oriented.
A method comprising:
- detecting, using a camera, a tracker coupled to a robotic surgical device;
- generating, using a processor, a graphical user interface for presentation on a display device, the graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera;
- determining whether the camera is within a target volume location;
- in response to determining that the camera is within the target volume location, automatically outputting an indication that the camera is within the target volume location;
- outputting a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser of the camera to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera;
- and
- optionally confirming that the camera is within the target volume location and properly oriented.
At least one machine-readable medium, including instructions, which when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
- detect, using information received from a camera, a tracker coupled to a robotic surgical device;
- generate a graphical user interface for presentation on a display device, the graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera;
- determine whether the camera is within a target volume location;
- in response to determining that the camera is within the target volume location, automatically output an indication that the camera is within the target volume location;
- output a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser of the camera to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera;
- and
- optionally confirm that the camera is within the target volume location and properly oriented.
