• Abstract: Phase recognition plays an essential role for surgical workflow analysis in computer assisted intervention. Transformer, originally proposed for sequential data modeling in natural language processing, has been successfully applied to surgical phase recognition. Existing works based on transformer mainly focus on modeling attention dependency, without introducing auto-regression. In this work, an Auto-Regressive Surgical Transformer, referred as ARST, is first proposed for on-line surgical phase recognition from laparoscopic videos, modeling the inter-phase correlation implicitly by conditional probability distribution. To reduce inference bias and to enhance phase consistency, we further develop a consistency constraint inference strategy based on auto-regression. We conduct comprehensive validations on a well-known public dataset Cholec80. Experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively, and achieves an inference rate of 66 frames per second (fps).

  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.
