Abstract

PURPOSE: The surgical instrument tracking framework, especially the marker-free surgical instrument tracking framework, is the key to visual servoing which is applied to achieve active control for laparoscope-holder robots. This paper presented a marker-free surgical instrument tracking framework based on object extraction via deep learning (DL).
