Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A method for acquiring annotated data using a plurality of surgical microscopy systems, the method comprising the following steps performed by each of the plurality of surgical microscopy systems:
storing at least one set of desired criteria in a storage unit of a respective surgical microscopy system;
recording image data including at least one image using a microscope of the respective surgical microscopy system;
determining a set of current criteria from the recorded image data;
determining whether the determined set of current criteria sufficiently corresponds to any one of the stored at least one set of desired criteria;
when a result of the determining whether the determined set of current criteria sufficiently corresponds to any one of the stored at least one set of desired criteria indicates that the determined set of current criteria sufficiently corresponds to any one of the stored at least one set of desired criteria, requesting a confirmation from a user of the surgical microscopy system as to whether said user would like to annotate the recorded image data; and
when receiving a confirmation from the user in response to the requesting, receiving at least one annotation from the user using a user interface provided by the respective surgical microscopy system and storing the received at least one annotation and the recorded image data as the annotated data in a database of the respective surgical microscopy system.
