Abstract
Surgical systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable medium for comparing localizer and image data to identify a region, such as an avoidance region or object. A localizer generates the localizer data associated with a surgical object. A vision device generates image data associated with the surgical object and an environment of the surgical object within a field-of-view of the vision device. Controller(s) associate a first virtual object with the surgical object and determine a pose of the first virtual object based on the localizer data. The controller(s) compare the image data and the localizer data to identify a region in the image data located outside of the first virtual object. The controller(s) associate a second virtual object with the identified region.
