Abstract
Lighting systems and associated controls that can provide active control of lighting device settings, such as on/off, color, intensity, focal length, beam location, beam size and beam shape. In some examples, lighting systems may include eye tracking technology and sensor feedback for one or more lighting device settings and may be configured with depth perception and cavity or incision recognition capability through image or video processing.
Claims28
A method of controlling a lighting device, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, position sensor data, the position sensor data representing a position of at least one of a user's head and a user's eyes;
- determining, by the processor, whether the user is looking at a task area based on the position sensor data;
- and
- controlling, by the processor, an intensity of light emitted by the lighting device or turning the light on or off in response to determining whether the user is looking at the task area.
A lighting system, comprising:
- a lighting device;
- a position sensor;
- and
- a processor coupled to the lighting device and position sensor configured to:
- receive position sensor data from the position sensor, the position sensor data representing a position of at least one of a user's head and a user's eyes;
- determine whether the user is looking at a task area based on the position sensor data;
- and
- control an intensity of light emitted by the lighting device or turn the light on or off in response to determining whether the user is looking at the task area.
A method of controlling a surgical lighting device, comprising:
- capturing, by an image capture device, an image of a surgery field;
- detecting, with a processor, an incision in the image;
- determining, with the processor, at least one property of the incision;
- and
- adjusting, by the processor, at least one setting of the surgical lighting device to illuminate the incision based on the at least one property of the incision.
A lighting system, comprising:
- an image capture device configured to capture an image of a surgery field;
- a surgical lighting device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the image capture device and the surgical lighting device configured to:
- detect an incision in the image;
- determine at least one property of the incision;
- and
- adjust at least one setting of the surgical lighting device to illuminate the incision based on the at least one property of the incision.
