3D Stereoscopic Surgical Camera : Visionsense.com
:: 24 March, 2007
Visionsense Corp. announces its new distal "chip-on-a-stick" 3.4 mm 3D stereoscopic camera for Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS). This unique camera technology provides image quality equivalent to High Definition (HD) as not optically "diffraction limited". It provides the surgeon with real-time "natural" Stereovision, 3D measurements and image fusion ("see-through-tissue") that combines Stereovision with MRI, CT or ultrasound and displays both merged.
Visionsense's 3D stereoscopic camera enables new MIS surgical specialties and procedures that are under served by traditional 2 visualization products, in markets such as: Spine, Neurosurgery, Gynecology, Urology, General Surgery, Micro, Plastic and Orthopedics.
About Visionsense Corp.
Develops customized Miniature Stereoscopic cameras/sensors and algorithms that present digital 3D stereovision and advanced features, which present superior endoscopic/laparoscopic/microscopic viewing for Minimal Invasive Surgery. These miniature, re-useable or disposable, 3D video cameras are attached to the tip of a flexible (or rigid) endoscope or instrument (distal-end camera). Visionsense's business strategy is to exclusively license its technology, application or segment specific, to strategic partners, benefiting a unique competitive advantage.
About Visionsense.com technology:
From exciting sensor innovation…..to sophisticated software algorithms..…to your eyes…..Visionsense has developed a number of cutting edge breakthrough technological solutions and packaged them into a remarkable system.
Visionsense’s core competency and technical expertise is based on an array of multidisciplinary technologies emphasizing integrated image processing and are focused on the development and commercialization of software-driven vision solutions.
The human eyes provide the brain with two independent, slightly different images of an object.
These are then processed into a stereo image that relays how close or far away the object is. Today’s Minimally Invasive Surgery (“MIS”) video cameras are monocular based, therefore they provide only 2-Dimension visualization. The lack of depth perception, inherent in the current technology, significantly reduces a surgeon’s ability to determine the size and precise location of anatomical structures and the surgeon’s maneuvers, thus impairing their ability to diagnose and operate efficiently.
The Company’s R&D team has developed a proprietary and patented technology, which provides the MIS surgeon with real-time, high-resolution, natural stereoscopic vision. The design of the proprietary single sensor (a few millimeters in size) is based on multidisciplinary technologies combined with sophisticated image processing algorithms.
Visionsense’s patent position is considered to be dominant in the area of single stereoscopic sensors. The Company owns the rights to the earliest patents for time and area multiplex domain sensors. The full patent portfolio consists of several U.S. patents and patent applications as well as patent applications filed all over the world
The company continues to file additional patents applications for its innovative solutions to enhance and strengthen its technological leadership in this field.
