Title
An Efficient One-Stage Detector for Real-Time Surgical Tools Detection in Robot-Assisted Surgery
Abstract
Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is a type of minimally invasive surgery which is completely different from the traditional surgery. RAS reduces surgeon's fatigue and the number of doctors participating in surgery. At the same time, it causes less pain and has a faster recovery rate. Real-time surgical tools detection is important for computer-assisted surgery because the prerequisite for controlling surgical tools is to know the location of surgical tools. In order to achieve comparable performance, most Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) employed for detecting surgical tools generate a huge number of feature maps from expensive operation, which results in redundant computation and long inference time. In this paper, we propose an efficient and novel CNN architecture which generate ghost feature maps cheaply based on intrinsic feature maps. The proposed detector is more efficient and simpler than the state-of-the-art detectors. We believe the proposed method is the first to generate ghost feature maps for detecting surgical tools. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves 91.6% mAP on the Cholec80-locations dataset and 100% mAP on the Endovis Challenge dataset with the detection speed of 38.5 fps, and realizes real-time and accurate surgical tools detection in the Laparoscopic surgery video.
