Laparoscopic Image

Laparoscopic image analysis focuses on improving the quality and utility of images obtained during minimally invasive surgery. Current research emphasizes generating realistic synthetic datasets using techniques like 3D Gaussian splatting and diffusion models to overcome the scarcity of real-world annotated data, and developing advanced algorithms for tasks such as smoke removal, depth estimation, and image registration. These advancements are crucial for training robust machine learning models to assist surgeons with tasks like tool tracking, object recognition, and augmented reality guidance, ultimately enhancing surgical precision and patient safety.
