Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to improve surgical scene perception by addressing the challenge of reconstructing highly dynamic surgical scenes. We proposed a novel depth estimation network and a reconstruction framework that combines neural radiance fields to provide more accurate scene information for surgical task automation and AR navigation.
