The tool presence detection challenge at M2CAI 2016 consists of identifying the presence/absence of seven surgical tools in the images of cholecystectomy videos. Here, we propose to use deep architectures that are based on our previous work…
Open procedures represent the dominant form of surgery worldwide. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to optimize surgical practice and improve patient outcomes, but efforts have focused primarily on minimally invasive…
Multiple cameras can provide comprehensive multi-view video coverage of a person. Fusing this multi-view data is crucial for tasks like behavioral analysis, although it traditionally requires camera calibration, a process that is often…
Long-term object detection requires the integration of frame-based results over several seconds. For non-deformable objects, long-term detection is often addressed using object detection followed by video tracking. Unfortunately, tracking…
Upper limb and hand functionality is critical to many activities of daily living and the amputation of one can lead to significant functionality loss for individuals. From this perspective, advanced prosthetic hands of the future are…
Background and aim: Most of the Mixed Reality models used in the surgical telepresence are suffering from discrepancies in the boundary area and spatial-temporal inconsistency due to the illumination variation in the video frames. The aim…
As the number of installed cameras grows, so do the compute resources required to process and analyze all the images captured by these cameras. Video analytics enables new use cases, such as smart cities or autonomous driving. At the same…
Human activity recognition in videos is a challenging problem that has drawn a lot of interest, particularly when the goal requires the analysis of a large video database. AOLME project provides a collaborative learning environment for…
Tracking body and hand motions in the 3D space is essential for social and self-presence in augmented and virtual environments. Unlike the popular 3D pose estimation setting, the problem is often formulated as inside-out tracking based on…

Occlusion, where target structures are partially hidden by surgical instruments or overlapping tissues, remains a critical yet underexplored challenge for foundation segmentation models in clinical endoscopy. We introduce OccSAM-Bench, a…
Optical see-through augmented reality (OST-AR) systems like Microsoft HoloLens 2 hold promise for arm's distance guidance (e.g., surgery), but depth perception of the hologram and occlusion of real instruments remain challenging. We present…
Multi-view crowd counting has been previously proposed to utilize multi-cameras to extend the field-of-view of a single camera, capturing more people in the scene, and improve counting performance for occluded people or those in low…
We propose a new method for six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) autonomous camera movement for minimally invasive surgery, which, unlike previous methods, takes into account both the position and orientation information from structures in the…
Surgical navigation provides real-time guidance by estimating the pose of patient anatomy and surgical instruments to visualize relevant intraoperative information. In conventional systems, instruments are typically tracked using fiducial…
