Abstract
A method of real-time image correction of a video stream from a surgical endoscope of a surgical robotic system. The video stream comprises a sequence of images. The method comprises: for an image in the sequence of images, identifying a plurality of regions, each region having a different range of values of at least one image property to another region; applying a mask to the image which applies a region-specific modification to each region, each region-specific modification modifying the at least one image property of that region; deriving data from the surgical robotic system; determining a relationship between features in the image from the derived data; modifying the mask for a predicted relationship between the features at the time of a subsequent image in the video stream; and applying the modified mask to the subsequent image in the video stream.
