Claim One:
1. An augmented reality surgical system for viewing an augmented image of a region of interest during a surgical procedure, the system comprising: an image capture device configured to be inserted into a patient and capture an image of the region of interest inside the patient during the surgical procedure; a controller configured to receive the image and apply at least one image processing filter to the image to generate the augmented image, the image processing filter including: a spatial decomposition filter configured to decompose the image into a plurality of spatial frequency bands; a temporal filter that is configured to be applied to the plurality of spatial frequency bands to generate a plurality of temporally filtered bands; an adder configured to add each band in the plurality of spatial frequency bands to a corresponding band in the plurality of temporally filtered bands to generate a plurality of augmented bands; and a reconstruction filter configured to generate the augmented image by collapsing the plurality of augmented bands; and a display configured to display the augmented image to a user during the surgical procedure.
