Surgical Domain

Surgical domain research focuses on improving surgical procedures through computer vision and robotics, aiming to enhance precision, safety, and efficiency. Current efforts concentrate on developing robust computer vision models, such as those based on deep learning architectures (e.g., transformers, diffusion models), for tasks like instrument segmentation, 3D reconstruction, and action recognition in surgical videos, often leveraging multi-view data and incorporating temporal information. These advancements are crucial for enabling applications such as robotic surgery, AI-assisted surgery, and improved surgical training, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
