Zusammenfassung:A system makes use of kinematic data from a robotic manipulator to aid in segmenting images of a robotically maneuvered surgical instrument at an operative site. A camera is positioned to capture image data of the surgical instrument at the surgical site. At least one processor receives the image data as well as kinematic data from the robotic manipulator. The kinematic data is used to define regions of interest in the images, and image segmentation is then carried out at the regions of interest to identify the surgical instruments in the image data.
