Abstract
The present invention relates to surgical image processing and update by a computing device. The method disclosed herein uses a deep learning model to detect distal ends of tools in an image from a microscope and processes the image to output detections that are optionally displayed around the distal ends of the tools. The method disclosed herein also uses Kalman filters and camera motion compensation calculations to process the image and predict the locations and sizes of the bounding boxes around the distal ends of the tools. The two processes work parallelly, with the Kalman filters and camera motion compensation calculations working at a higher rate than the deep learning model, thereby allowing an increased update rate of detections while not significantly increasing computing workload.
