Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a system including an image capture device and a computing device configured to receive a test image from the image capture device corresponding to a first surgical instrument, determine an identity type of the first surgical instrument using the test image in a machine vision technique, determine whether the first surgical instrument is flagged, and perform at least one operation in response to whether the first surgical instrument is flagged.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- an image capture device;
- a computing device communicatively coupled to the image capture device, the computing device comprising one or more computer processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:
- receive a test image from the image capture device corresponding to a first surgical instrument;
- determine an identity type of the first surgical instrument using the test image in a machine vision technique;
- determine whether the first surgical instrument is flagged;
- perform at least one operation in response to whether the first surgical instrument is flagged.
A system comprising:
- an image capture device;
- an analytical device;
- a computing device communicatively coupled to the image capture device and the analytical device, the computing device comprising one or more computer processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:
- determine, based on a machine vision technique from the image capture device, that a wrapped package is assembled with a group of one or more surgical instruments;
- receive a sterilization status for the group from the analytical device;
- perform at least one operation based on the sterilization status.
A system comprising:
- an image capture device;
- a surgical instrument;
- a display;
- a computing device communicatively coupled to the image capture device, the computing device comprising one or more computer processors and a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:
- receive a template for a plurality of surgical instruments, the template comprises an image describing position information for the plurality of surgical instruments;
- receive, from the image capture device, a video feed of the surgical instrument;
- determine an instrument type and position of the surgical instrument from the video feed;
- determine whether the type and position of the surgical instrument corresponds to a surgical instrument of the template;
- perform at least one operation in response to the determination of the instrument type of the surgical instrument.
