A New Algorithm for the Visual Tracking of Surgical Instruments in Robot - assisted Laparoscopic Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
We proposed a novel algorithm for instrument segmentation in the robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) images, which will be used for tool tracking to automatically preventing hazardous situations. The proposed algorithm achieved 1mm range of average RMSE of tool tip position in various conditions, which is significantly lower value compared to the previous methods.

Visual Instrument Guidance in Minimally Invasive Robot Surgery
Surgical tool tracking is an important key functionality for many high-level tasks such as the visual guidance of surgical instruments or automated camera control. Readings from robot encoders and the kinematic chain are usually error prone in this kind of complex setup, but still allow for a coarse pose estimation of the instruments in image space. This information can be utilized to (re-)init...
متن کاملTowards Video Understanding of Laparoscopic Surgery: Instrument Tracking
Endoscopic surgery routinely produces video data. Automated understanding of these data has applications both online (visual servoing for telemanipulation) and offline (procedure analysis, annotation and content-based retrieval). As a step towards such applications, a method for tracking surgical instruments in endoscopic video without modifications to instruments or endoscopic equipment is des...
متن کامل3D Tracking of Laparoscopic Instruments Using Statistical and Geometric Modeling
During a laparoscopic surgery, the endoscope can be manipulated by an assistant or a robot. Several teams have worked on the tracking of surgical instruments, based on methods ranging from the development of specific devices to image processing methods. We propose to exploit the instruments' insertion points, which are fixed on the patients abdominal cavity, as a geometric constraint for the lo...

The tracking of surgical instruments offers interesting possibilities for the development of high-level commands for robotic camera holders in laparoscopic surgery. We have developed a new method to detect instruments in laparoscopic images which uses information on the 3D position of the insertion point of an instrument into the abdominal cavity. This information strongly constrains the search...
