Claim One:
1. A system for detection of a surgical gauze in an anatomical surgery, comprising: at least one circuit in an image-processing device communicatively coupled to an image-capturing device, wherein said image-capturing device captures a video frame, wherein said at least one circuit is configured to: determine a set of pixel characteristics based on color filtering of at least a portion of said video frame, wherein said video frame is received from said image-capturing device; detect at least one block of pixels in said video frame, based on said determined set of pixel characteristics, wherein said at least one block of pixels corresponds to a first portion of said surgical gauze in said at least portion of said video frame; identify at least one cluster of pixels in said video frame, based on a plurality of metrics, wherein said at least one cluster of pixels corresponds to a second portion of said surgical gauze; determine a set of pixels in said video frame, wherein said set of pixels is determined based on an extent of overlap of said at least one block of pixels of said video frame and said at least one cluster of pixels of said video frame; and recognize said surgical gauze in said video frame based on said detection of said at least one block of pixels and said determined set of pixels.
