Automatic 3D Point Set Reconstruction from Stereo Laparoscopic Images using Deep Neural Networks

Abstract

In this paper, an automatic approach to predict 3D coordinates from stereo laparoscopic images is presented. The approach maps a vector of pixel intensities to 3D coordinates through training a six layer deep neural network. The architectural aspects of the approach is presented and in detail and the method is evaluated on a publicly available dataset with promising results.
