Patent

CA 2627611

A monoscopic imaging system, for example a minimally invasive surgery imaging system, is provided which includes an image capture device for capturing images of a monoscopic, for example endoscopic, field of view, an auxiliary light source operable such that an object within the field of view casts a shadow, an image processor operatively connected to the image capture device and operable to detect shadow pixels in the images corresponding to the shadow and to enhance the shadow in the images. The system is of particular, although not exclusive, application to laparoscopic surgery.

L~invention a pour objet un système d~imagerie monoscopique, notamment un système d~imagerie chirurgicale très peu invasif, comprenant un dispositif de capture d~image pour les vues d~un champ angulaire monoscopique, notamment endoscopique, une source lumineuse secondaire pouvant être manAEuvrée de manière à ce qu~un objet du champ angulaire projette une ombre, un système de traitement d~image relié de manière opérationnelle au dispositif de capture d~images et pouvant être manAEuvré pour détecter les pixels de l~ombre dans les images correspondant à l~ombre projetée et pour accroître l~ombre des images. Le système est destiné particulièrement, mais pas exclusivement, à des applications de chirurgie laparoscopique.
