Point Tracking in Surgery--The 2025 Surgical Tattoos in Infrared Challenge (STIRC2025)
Adam Schmidt, Mert Asim Karaoglu, Zijian Wu +32
The paper presents the 2025 Surgical Tattoos in Infrared Challenge (STIRC2025), evaluating point-tracking algorithms on infrared tattoo data from surgical videos for accuracy and i…
Track2Map: Online Deformable SLAM with Motion-Aware Pose Optimization in Robotic Surgery
Tianyi Song, Sierra Bonilla, Xinwei Ju +6
Gaussian splatting is the current state-of-the-art for dense, deformable 3D anatomy reconstruction in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS); however, most pipelines are…
StereoMamba: Real-time and Robust Intraoperative Stereo Disparity Estimation via Long-range Spatial Dependencies
Xu Wang, Jialang Xu, Shuai Zhang +3
Stereo disparity estimation is crucial for obtaining depth information in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS). While current deep learning methods have made significa…
SurgViVQA: Temporally-Grounded Video Question Answering for Surgical Scene Understanding
Mauro Orazio Drago, Luca Carlini, Pelinsu Celebi Balyemez +7
Video Question Answering (VideoQA) in the surgical domain aims to enhance intraoperative understanding by enabling AI models to reason over temporally coherent events rather than i…
When to Trust the Answer: Question-Aligned Semantic Nearest Neighbor Entropy for Safer Surgical VQA
Luca Carlini, Dennis Pierantozzi, Mauro Orazio Drago +6
Safety and reliability are critical for deploying visual question answering (VQA) systems in surgery, where incorrect or ambiguous responses can cause patient harm. A key limitatio…
HyKey: Hyperspectral Keypoint Detection and Matching in Minimally Invasive Surgery
Alexander Saikia, Chiara Di Vece, Zhehua Mao +6
Purpose: 3D reconstruction in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) enables enhanced surgical guidance through improved visualisation, tool tracking, and augmented reality. However, tra…
