Shape-Enhanced Surgical Visualizations and Medical Illustrations with Multi-flash Imaging
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present a novel approach for enhancing images and video used in endoscopic surgery so that they are better able to convey shape. Our method is based on multi-flash imaging, in which multiple light sources are strategically positioned to cast shadows along depth discontinuities. We describe designs for achieving multi-flash imaging using multiple endoscopes as well as in single endoscopes. Multi-flash photography can also be used for creating medical illustrations. By highlighting the
