Abstract

PURPOSE: Multiple applications in open surgical environments may benefit from adoption of markerless computer vision depending on associated speed and accuracy requirements. The current work evaluates vision models for 6-degree of freedom pose estimation of surgical instruments in RGB scenes. Potential use cases are discussed based on observed performance.
