Development of a motion compensated surgical illumination system for headlight camera system

Abstract

In the present era, most of the surgeries are video recorded for medical / clinical significance, distance learning and teaching. Generally during the surgical operations video recordings are performed under the common ceiling lighting system. The lack of good illumination for video recording often leads to poor image quality. In addition this technology becomes useless in scenarios where the operations are performed in conditions where the image quality relies on the surgeon's head motion, and on visibility (good illumination).
