Abstract
A system and method using computer vision to assist surgical suturing includes capturing digital images of a treatment site in a region of patient anatomy and displaying the image in real time on an image display. Computer vision techniques are used to determine the edges of tissue to be sutured. The system determines target needle entry and exit points at desired distances from the tissue edges and at a desired spacing, and displays the target needle entry and exit points as overlays on the image display.
