US Patent 12003880 Image rotation using software for endoscopic applications

An endoscopic device and system for image correction of a rotating sensor includes a hand-piece, a lumen comprising a distal tip, and an image sensor disposed within the lumen for providing visualization of an area. The image sensor is located near the distal tip of the lumen. The lumen is rotatable about an axis of the endoscope and with respect to the hand-piece. The endoscopic device and system further includes an image signal processing pipeline that is configured to rotate images to maintain a constant image horizon for a user on a display.
