PURPOSE: Automatic image segmentation of surgical instruments is a fundamental task in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, which greatly improves the context awareness of surgeons during the operation. A novel method based on Mask R-CNN is pro...
Since its inception, endoscopy has evolved from a solely diagnostic procedure to an expanding therapeutic field within gastroenterology. The incorporation of robotics in gastroenterology initially addressed shortcomings of flexible endoscopes in natu...

BACKGROUND: The camera of an endoscope is fixed to the device, and the image rotates together with the endoscope. This can lead to visual confusion for the user and incorrect image reading. The problem also occurs with endoscopic robots. Using a mast...
Despite all the expectations for photoacoustic endoscopy (PAE), there are still several technical issues that must be resolved before the technique can be successfully translated into clinics. Among these, electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, in...

PURPOSE: The accuracy improvement in endoscopic image classification matters to the endoscopists in diagnosing and choosing suitable treatment for patients. Existing CNN-based methods for endoscopic image classification tend to use the deepest abstra...
Smoke, uneven lighting, and color deviation are common issues in endoscopic surgery, which have increased the risk of surgery and even lead to failure.In this study, we present a new physics model driven semi-supervised learning framework for high-qu...
