Towards a Video Quality Assessment based Framework for Enhancement of Laparoscopic Videos
arXiv:2003.12679 · doi:10.1117/12.2549266
Abstract
Laparoscopic videos can be affected by different distortions which may impact the performance of surgery and introduce surgical errors. In this work, we propose a framework for automatically detecting and identifying such distortions and their severity using video quality assessment. There are three major contributions presented in this work (i) a proposal for a novel video enhancement framework for laparoscopic surgery; (ii) a publicly available database for quality assessment of laparoscopic videos evaluated by expert as well as non-expert observers and (iii) objective video quality assessment of laparoscopic videos including their correlations with expert and non-expert scores.
