Abstract:
A system for assisting a surgeon to perform an operation on a patient where surgeon employs a first surgical instrument that has a shaft and a tip. The system include a video capture device configured to capture real-time video data showing the first surgical instrument while the first surgical instrument is being used by the surgeon to perform the operation. The system also includes a display device and a computer processor. The computer processor is configured to receive real-time video data from the video capture device as a sequence of digital image frames and, for each image frame, analyze the image frame to determine the location in the image frame of the shaft of the first surgical instrument, process the image frame to overlay received overlay information on the shaft of the first surgical instrument as it appears in the image frame, and display the processed image frame on the display device.

Claim (Index 13):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein during the operation the surgeon manipulates the first surgical instrument and also manipulates a second surgical instrument comprising a tip, wherein the overlay information comprises a representation of a button that is overlaid on a portion of the shaft of the first surgical instrument in the processed image frames, and wherein the computer processor is further configured to:\n analyze the image frame to determine the location in the image frame of the tip of the second surgical instrument; determine whether the tip of the second surgical instrument is proximate to the portion of the shaft of the first surgical instrument on which the representation of a button is overlaid; and when the tip of the second surgical instrument is proximate to the portion of the shaft of the first surgical instrument on which the representation of a button is overlaid, then perform an action.
