The intraoperative activity of a surgeon has substantial impact on postoperative outcomes.
However, for most surgical procedures, the details of intraoperative surgical actions, which …

The fields of computer vision (CV) and artificial intelligence (AI) have undergone rapid
advancements in the past decade, many of which have been applied to the analysis of …

AI is becoming ubiquitous, revolutionizing many aspects of our lives. In surgery, it is still a
promise. AI has the potential to improve surgeon performance and impact patient care, from …

Automatic recognition of surgical activities in the operating room (OR) is a key technology for
creating next generation intelligent surgical devices and workflow monitoring/support …

Importance When evaluating surgeons in the operating room, experienced physicians must
rely on live or recorded video to assess the surgeon's technical performance, an approach …

Automatically recognising surgical gestures from surgical data is an important building block
of automated activity recognition and analytics, technical skill assessment, intra-operative …

Surgical robots rely on robust and efficient computer vision algorithms to be able to
intervene in real-time. The main problem, however, is that the training or testing of such …

This paper reports our progress in developing techniques for “parsing” raw motion data from
a simple surgical task into a labeled sequence of surgical gestures. The ability to …

Purpose A profound education of novice surgeons is crucial to ensure that surgical
interventions are effective and safe. One important aspect is the teaching of technical skills …

Most benchmarks for studying surgical interventions focus on a specific challenge instead of
leveraging the intrinsic complementarity among different tasks. In this work, we present a …
