A System for Registration and Information Overlay on Deformable Surfaces from Video Data

A surgical system including an optical imaging device arranged to image an internal structure of a subject under observation, a processor in communication with the optical imaging device, and a visual display in communication with the processor. The optical imaging device provides a first image signal corresponding to at least a portion of the internal structure corresponding to a first time interval and a second image signal corresponding to a least a portion of the internal structure corresponding to a second time interval.; The processor is operable to determine a first set of points corresponding to the at least a portion of the internal structure corresponding to the first time interval from the first image signal, determine a second set of points corresponding to the at least a portion of the internal structure corresponding to the second time interval from the second image signal based on the determined first set of points, receive supplemental data corresponding to the at least a portion of the internal structure, register the supplemental data with at least one of the first set of points or the second set of points, and output a display image signal, to the visual display, corresponding to an overlay of the supplemental data with at least one of the first set of points or the second set of points based on the registering supplemental data.
