Abstract
A system comprises a teleoperational assembly including an operator control system and a plurality of manipulators. A first manipulator is configured to control a medical instrument in a surgical environment. A second manipulator is configured to control an imaging instrument. The system further comprises a processing unit configured to: display an image of a field of view of the surgical environment captured by the imaging instrument; determine a position of a distal portion of the medical instrument in an image coordinate space; determine an initial position for a badge associated with the distal portion; determine a badge placement boundary, which is inside the image, for the image by determining a viewable space boundary for the image; and adjust the badge from the initial position to a display position within the badge placement boundary by determining an inset boundary between the badge placement boundary and the viewable space boundary.
