Abstract
A system for performing a surgical procedure includes a controller including a memory and a processor, the memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive an image captured by a camera, generate a segmented image by applying a first threshold value to the image captured by the camera, identify a lumen within the segmented image, determine a centroid of the lumen within the segmented image, and align a portion of a surgical device operably coupled to the controller with the centroid of the lumen.
