Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that use computer-vision processing systems to improve patient safety during surgical procedures. Computer-vision processing systems may train machine-learning models using machine-learning techniques. The machine-learning techniques can be executed to train the machine-learning models to recognize, classify, and interpret objects within a live video feed. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure can control (or facilitate control of) surgical tools during surgical procedures using the trained machine-learning models.
