Accurate instrument segmentation in endoscopic vision of robot-assisted surgery is challenging due to reflection on the instruments and frequent contacts with tissue. Deep neural networks (DNN) show competitive performance and are in favor in recent years. However, the hunger of DNN for labeled data poses a huge workload of annotation. Motivated by alleviating this workload, we propose a general embeddable method to decrease the usage of labeled real images, using active generated synthetic images. In each active learning iteration, the most informative unlabeled images are first queried by active learning and then labeled. Next, synthetic images are generated based on these selected images. The instruments and backgrounds are cropped out and randomly combined with each other with blending and fusion near the boundary. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on 2 sinus surgery datasets and 1 intraabdominal surgery dataset. The results indicate a considerable improvement in performance, especially when the budget for annotation is small. The effectiveness of different types of synthetic images, blending methods, and external background are also studied. All the code is open-sourced at: https://github.com/HaonanPeng/active_syn_generator.

Surgical instrument segmentation in robot-assisted surgery (RAS) - especially that using learning-based models - relies on the assumption that training and testing videos are sampled from the same domain. However, it is impractical and expensive to c
ollect and annotate sufficient data from every new domain. To greatly increase the label efficiency, we explore a new problem, i.e., adaptive instrument segmentation, which is to effectively adapt one source model to new robotic surgical videos from multiple target domains, only given the annotated instruments in the first frame. We propose MDAL, a meta-learning based dynamic online adaptive learning scheme with a two-stage framework to fast adapt the model parameters on the first frame and partial subsequent frames while predicting the results. MDAL learns the general knowledge of instruments and the fast adaptation ability through the video-specific meta-learning paradigm. The added gradient gate excludes the noisy supervision from pseudo masks for dynamic online adaptation on target videos. We demonstrate empirically that MDAL outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on two datasets (including a real-world RAS dataset). The promising performance on ex-vivo scenes also benefits the downstream tasks such as robot-assisted suturing and camera control.
Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical intervention used to examine the organs inside the abdomen and has been widely used due to its effectiveness over open surgery. Due to the hardware improvements such as high definition cameras, this procedure
has significantly improved and new software methods have demonstrated potential for computer-assisted procedures. However, there exists challenges and requirements to improve detection and tracking of the position of the instruments during these surgical procedures. To this end, we evaluate and compare some popular deep learning methods that can be explored for the automated segmentation of surgical instruments in laparoscopy, an important step towards tool tracking. Our experimental results exhibit that the Dual decoder attention network (DDANet) produces a superior result compared to other recent deep learning methods. DDANet yields a Dice coefficient of 0.8739 and mean intersection-over-union of 0.8183 for the Robust Medical Instrument Segmentation (ROBUST-MIS) Challenge 2019 dataset, at a real-time speed of 101.36 frames-per-second that is critical for such procedures.
Accurate and real-time surgical instrument segmentation is important in the endoscopic vision of robot-assisted surgery, and significant challenges are posed by frequent instrument-tissue contacts and continuous change of observation perspective. For
these challenging tasks more and more deep neural networks (DNN) models are designed in recent years. We are motivated to propose a general embeddable approach to improve these current DNN segmentation models without increasing the model parameter number. Firstly, observing the limited rotation-invariance performance of DNN, we proposed the Multi-Angle Feature Aggregation (MAFA) method, leveraging active image rotation to gain richer visual cues and make the prediction more robust to instrument orientation changes. Secondly, in the end-to-end training stage, the auxiliary contour supervision is utilized to guide the model to learn the boundary awareness, so that the contour shape of segmentation mask is more precise. The proposed method is validated with ablation experiments on the novel Sinus-Surgery datasets collected from surgeons operations, and is compared to the existing methods on a public dataset collected with a da Vinci Xi Robot.
Recognition of surgical gesture is crucial for surgical skill assessment and efficient surgery training. Prior works on this task are based on either variant graphical models such as HMMs and CRFs, or deep learning models such as Recurrent Neural Net
works and Temporal Convolutional Networks. Most of the current approaches usually suffer from over-segmentation and therefore low segment-level edit scores. In contrast, we present an essentially different methodology by modeling the task as a sequential decision-making process. An intelligent agent is trained using reinforcement learning with hierarchical features from a deep model. Temporal consistency is integrated into our action design and reward mechanism to reduce over-segmentation errors. Experiments on JIGSAWS dataset demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than state-of-the-art methods in terms of the edit score and on par in frame-wise accuracy. Our code will be released later.
We exam various geometric active contour methods for radar image segmentation. Due to special properties of radar images, we propose our new model based on modified Chan-Vese functional. Our method is efficient in separating non-meteorological noises from meteorological images.
