A novel graph-based gap detection algorithm ensures seamless video inspection in minimal invasive surgery (MIS). It reliably identifies frame discontinuities, preventing artifacts in panoramic views and aiding surgical inspection control.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer Vision
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) requires comprehensive organ inspection, often using video endoscopes.
  • Free-hand endoscope guidance leads to challenges in achieving seamless frame transitions.
  • 2-D panoramic imaging in MIS can suffer from geometric distortions, limiting diagnostic reliability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a robust gap detection algorithm for verifying frame discontinuities in endoscopic videos.
  • To overcome limitations of current panoramic imaging techniques in MIS.
  • To provide a direct verification method for seamless visual inspection during surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A graph-based gap detection algorithm was developed, utilizing motion information from a zig-zag scan.
