System for stereoscopic display of images of endoscope using dimensional map, has analyzing unit to test whether detected overexposure is reflection of light by object in spatial area based on three-dimensional model of spatial area

摘要

The system has an endoscope (1) with a light source (2) to illuminate a spatial area, where a capturing unit (3) is provided and arranged to receive light emitted by the light source. A storage unit (4) stores signals generated by the capturing unit as two-dimensional image of the spatial area. A detection unit (8) detects the overexposed areas in the two-dimensional image of the spatial area, where an analyzing unit (10) tests whether the detected overexposure is a reflection of the light by an object in the spatial area based on a three-dimensional model of the spatial area. An independent claim is included for a method for stereoscopic display of images of an endoscope.
