• Abstract summary: We propose a novel temporal convolutional architecture to automatically detect and segment surgical gestures. We devise our method with a symmetric dilation structure bridged by a self-attention module to encode and decode the long-term temporal patterns. We validate our approach on a fundamental robotic suturing task from the JIGSAWS dataset.

• Abstract: Automatic surgical gesture recognition is a prerequisite of intra-operative computer assistance and objective surgical skill assessment. Prior works either require additional sensors to collect kinematics data or have limitations on capturing temporal information from long and untrimmed surgical videos. To tackle these challenges, we propose a novel temporal convolutional architecture to automatically detect and segment surgical gestures with corresponding boundaries only using RGB videos. We devise our method with a symmetric dilation structure bridged by a self-attention module to encode and decode the long-term temporal patterns and establish the frame-to-frame relationship accordingly. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on a fundamental robotic suturing task from the JIGSAWS dataset. The experiment results demonstrate the ability of our method on capturing long-term frame dependencies, which largely outperform the state-of-the-art methods on the frame-wise accuracy up to ~6 points and the F1@50 score ~6 points.

  Learning of the task-oriented attention while tracking instrument holds vast potential in image-guided robotic surgery. We propose an end-to-end Multi-Task Learning (ST-MTL) model with a shared encoder and Sink-temporal decoders for the real-time surgical instrument segmentation and task-oriented saliency detection. We tackle the problem with a novel asynchronous-temporal optimization technique by calculating independent gradients for each decoder. Compared to the state-of-the-art segmentation and saliency methods, our model most outperforms the evaluation metrics and produces an outstanding performance in challenge

  We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation framework which can simultaneously transfer multi-modality knowledge, i.e., both kinematic and visual data, from simulator to real robot. It remedies the domain gap with enhanced transferable features by using temporal cues in videos, and inherent correlations in multi-modal towards recognizing gesture. Results show that our approach recovers the performance with great improvement gains, up to 12.91% in ACC and 20.16% in F1score without using any annotations in real robot.
