Method for commissioning a camera control unit (CCU) which defines a first processing path for video data, wherein an operating program for the CCU is loaded from a non-volatile program memory into a temporary memory of the CCU, and a check is carried out to determine whether an expansion unit is connected to the CCU, and, if so, at least a part of the operating program is loaded from a non-volatile program memory of the expansion unit into a temporary memory of the CCU.

In summary, to simplify operation of a medical image acquisition system, it is proposed that the image acquisition system continuously monitors a current image acquisition situation and assigns at least one new function to at least one, preferably manual, operating element, which is adapted to a detected new image acquisition situation, in response to a change in the image acquisition situation, to the extent that said newly assigned function is adjustable and/or operable with the at least one operating element. To this end, the image acquisition system can detect the change in the image acquisition situation using predefined parameters by means of sensors and/or through communication with peripheral units and/or preferably through image analysis of an image sequence which is recorded with an image sensor of the image acquisition system.

Method for adaptive functional reconfiguration of operating elements of an image acquisition system and corresponding image acquisition system

A sensor array () for recording a color image in the visible spectrum () and hyperspectral information that is spatially linked with the color image, wherein the sensor array () includes an image sensor () composed of a plurality of photocells (), wherein respectively a color filter () is fixedly assigned to at least one portion of the photocells (), wherein each photocell () is assigned to a subcell () and each subcell () is assigned to a supercell (). Each subcell () has at least one additional filter of a channel, and all the channels together cover at least the entire visible spectrum (), and the characteristic wavelengths () of the individual filters belonging to a channel in each case differ from one another between the subcells () of a supercell ().

To simplify the use of a functional scope of a medical image recording system, for example an endoscopy system, a method is proposed in which an image processing unit of the image recording system recognizes predefined image recording situations on the basis of an image sequence recorded using an image sensor of the image recording system and in response thereto proposes an adaptation to a user that results in an improved display and/or an improved recording of the image sequence in the respective recognized image recording situation. The adaptation can relate here to an algorithm, using which the image sequence is processed after the recording, and/or an image recording method currently used to generate the image sequence.

Image recording system, which suggests situation-dependent adaptation proposals, and associated image recording method

The invention relates to a method for reconstructing an output image and/or a sequence of output images from raw image data, wherein, in at least one reconstruction chain between a recording of raw image data by means of an image recording device and a display of the output image and/or the sequence of output images on a display unit, at least one reconstruction step for reconstructing the output image and/or the sequence of output images is carried out, and wherein the result of the at least one reconstruction step is discarded when the result is recognized as invalid with respect to the fulfillment of a verification criterion.

A video bus () that the plug-in cards (), which are inserted into the individual slots (), acquire and/or evaluate information, which refers to and/or describes the assigned slot () and/or cores () already assigned by other plug-in cards () or cores () which are still free.

Method for building a video bus, video bus layout, plug-in card, endoscope and corresponding use

A video-processing assembly (), particularly for an endoscope, including a video-processing device () and an expansion device (), which is connected to the video-processing device () via an interface (). The interface () transmits at least two video data channels (), a primary video data channel () processed in the video-processing device () and the secondary video data channel () being led unprocessed into the expansion device () and processed there. The two processed video signals are combined in a mixing unit () in the expansion device () and transmitted to an image display device ().
