Endowed with the expected visions for future surgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has
become one of the most rapid developing areas in modern surgery. Soft robotics, which …

Surgica1 tool detection involves identifying the position and type of instruments in an image.
This is one of the significant issues in automatic video analysis that can aid in evaluating the …

Image-based 3D reconstruction enables laparoscopic applications as image-guided
navigation and (autonomous) robot-assisted interventions, which require a high accuracy …

Multi-camera systems were recently introduced into laparoscopy to increase the narrow field
of view of the surgeon. The video streams are stitched together to create a panorama that is …

The traditional optical tracking system is easily affected by occlusion and a narrow field of
vision, which leads to the failure of surgical instrument tracking. To solve this problem, a …

During minimal invasive surgery (MIS), the laparoscope only provides a single viewpoint to
the surgeon, leaving a lack of 3D perception. Many works have been proposed to obtain …

Nowadays, many surgical operations for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases are
performed using minimally invasive techniques. This trend has increased the demand for …

Computer-assisted surgical navigation systems have gained popularity in surgical
procedures that demand high amounts of precision. These systems aim to track the real-time …

Analyzing or understanding medical images obtained from an endoscopic camera is
important in computerassisted interventions (CAI). Compared to prior research, this paper …

This paper presents the design and prototype of a novel tri-aperture monocular laparoscopic
objective that can acquire both stereoscopic views for depth information and a wide field of …
