Abstract
Video-endoscopic image analysis is an important source of information for extracting relevant 3D information of the surgical scene in minimally invasive surgery. This work proposes a new approach for getting depth information and relative position between instruments and organs based on video image analysis. The proposed image analysis extracts information from: (1) the projective geometry of the surgical setting in the image to determine laparoscopic tool’s pose, and (2) the scene illumination captured in the image for getting a depth-map of the surgical scene. Results have verified the potential of video-analysis based methods for obtaining 3D information of the whole surgical scene. This information offers new possibilities for developing new augmented reality surgical applications and for improving surgical training with objective metrics. The main benefit of this approach is the lack of extra elements which disturb surgeons’ performance in the clinical routine.
