SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMAGE MAPPING AND FUSION DURING SURGICAL PROCEDURES

A method for mapping and fusing endoscopy images includes capturing a first image of an object within a surgical operative site, by a first imaging device; and capturing a second image of the object, by a second imaging device. The first image includes the first light radiating from the object, and a first reference point. The second image includes the second light radiating from the object, and a second reference point. The method further includes comparing a first location of the first reference point in the first image to a second location of the second reference point in the second image, determining a relative pose of the first imaging device to the second imaging device based on the comparing, generating an augmented image fusing the first image and the second image based on the determined relative pose, and displaying the augmented image on a display.
