DART: Depth-as-Target Pretraining for Surgical Vision Foundation Models
John J. Han, Adam Schmidt, Muhammad Abdullah Jamal +2
Vision foundation models (VFMs) are valuable in data-scarce domains such as surgery, where a single pretrained backbone can provide rich representations for many downstream tasks.…
SUREON: A Benchmark and Vision-Language-Model for Surgical Reasoning
Alejandra Perez, Anita Rau, Lee White +4
Surgeons don't just see -- they interpret. When an expert observes a surgical scene, they understand not only what instrument is being used, but why it was chosen, what risk it pos…
On the Role of Depth in Surgical Vision Foundation Models: An Empirical Study of RGB-D Pre-training
John J. Han, Adam Schmidt, Muhammad Abdullah Jamal +4
Vision foundation models (VFMs) have emerged as powerful tools for surgical scene understanding. However, current approaches predominantly rely on unimodal RGB pre-training, overlo…
