Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for tracking surgical textiles for collecting extracorporeal fluid lost by a patient, comprising:
receiving a first image comprising a first textile-depicting image region including a first fluid pattern;
receiving a second image comprising a second textile-depicting image region including a second fluid pattern;
measuring a likelihood that the first and second image regions depict at least a portion of the same textile by comparing an area of the first fluid pattern based on a number of pixels in the first image region having a color component value above a predetermined threshold, with an area of the second fluid pattern based on a number of pixels in the second image region having a color component value above the predetermined threshold;
determining an image transformation between the first and second image regions;
adjusting the second image region relative to the first image region based on the image transformation; and
based on the likelihood exceeding a predetermined threshold, displaying the first image region, the adjusted second image region, and the measured likelihood of potential duplicity on a display device.
