Orientation calibration system for image capture

A method for using an orientation calibration system to align a display monitor in a desired position relative to a reference direction, the display monitor configured to display a target image, the method comprising:

• positioning a first side of the orientation calibration system adjacent a first side of the display monitor;
• determining an alignment of the first side of the display monitor relative to the reference direction using the orientation calibration system;
• adjusting the alignment of the first side of the display monitor to ensure it is in the desired position relative to the reference direction within a first threshold;
• positioning a second side of the orientation calibration system adjacent a surface of the display monitor;
• determining an alignment of the surface of the display monitor relative to the reference direction using the orientation calibration system;
• and
• adjusting the alignment of the surface of the display monitor in the desired position relative to the reference direction within a second threshold.

A device for aligning a capture of a target diagnostic image, the device comprising:

• a first side, a second side orthogonal to the first side, and a third side, the third side defining a first plane;
• a display screen;
• a camera operable to capture the target diagnostic image, the target diagnostic image having a first reference direction and a second reference direction orthogonal to the first reference direction, the first reference direction and the second reference direction defining a second plane orientation;
• an orientation sensor configured to measure a current orientation of the camera;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• determine an image orientation of the target diagnostic image based at least on the first reference direction and the second plane orientation;
• determine a current orientation of the camera based on one or more inputs from the orientation sensor;
• display on the display screen a current orientation graphic representative of the current orientation of the camera and a desired orientation graphic representative of a desired orientation of the camera;
• and
• cause the camera to capture an image of the target diagnostic image when a difference between the current orientation of the device and the desired orientation of the device is within a threshold.

A method of aligning a medical orientation device for aligned capture of a target diagnostic image, the method comprising:

• positioning a first side of the medical orientation device relative to a first reference direction of the target diagnostic image;
• determining a first orientation of the target diagnostic image based on the positioning of the first side of the medical orientation device relative to the first reference direction of the target diagnostic image;
• positioning a second side of the medical orientation device relative to a reference plane of the target diagnostic image;
• determining an orientation plane of the target diagnostic image based on the positioning of the second side of the medical orientation device relative to the reference plane of the target diagnostic image;
• positioning a camera of the medical orientation device within a threshold of the first orientation of the target diagnostic image and the orientation plane of the target diagnostic image;
• and
• capturing an image of the target diagnostic image using the camera of the medical orientation device in response to a current orientation of the medical orientation device being within the threshold of the first orientation of the target diagnostic image and the orientation plane of the target diagnostic image.
