Abstract
A system and method for generating a depth map from image data in a surgical robotic system that employs a robotic subsystem having a camera assembly with first and second cameras for generating image data. The system and method generates based on the image data a plurality of depth maps, and then converts the plurality of depth maps into a single combined depth map having distance data associated therewith. The system and method can then control the camera assembly based on the distance data in the single combined depth map.
