• Authors: Tomoki Oya, Megumi Nakao, Tetsuya Matsuda
• Abstract summary: Intraoperative shape reconstruction of organs from endoscopic camera images is a complex yet indispensable technique for image-guided surgery. We propose a framework for generative virtual learning of shape reconstruction using image translation with common latent variables between simulated and real images. In this study, we targeted the shape reconstruction of collapsed lungs from thoracoscopic images and confirmed that virtual learning could improve the similarity between real and simulated images.

• Abstract: Intraoperative shape reconstruction of organs from endoscopic camera images is a complex yet indispensable technique for image-guided surgery. To address the uncertainty in reconstructing entire shapes from single-viewpoint occluded images, we propose a framework for generative virtual learning of shape reconstruction using image translation with common latent variables between simulated and real images. As it is difficult to prepare sufficient amount of data to learn the relationship between endoscopic images and organ shapes, self-supervised virtual learning is performed using simulated images generated from statistical shape models. However, small differences between virtual and real images can degrade the estimation performance even if the simulated images are regarded as equivalent by humans. To address this issue, a Variational Autoencoder is used to convert real and simulated images into identical synthetic images. In this study, we targeted the shape reconstruction of collapsed lungs from thoracoscopic images and confirmed that virtual learning could improve the similarity between real and simulated images. Furthermore, shape reconstruction error could be improved by 16.9%.

  Style transfer is a promising approach to close the sim-to-real gap in medical endoscopy. rendering synthetic endoscopic videos by traversing pre-operative scans can generate structurally accurate simulations. CycleGAN can imitate realistic endoscopic images from these simulations, but they are unsuitable for video-to-video synthesis. We propose MeshBrush, a neural mesh stylization method to synthesize temporally consistent videos.

  We present a novel approach for enhanced image reconstruction, in which existing methods for object decoding and image reconstruction are merged together. This is achieved by conditioning the reconstructed image to its decoded image category using a class-conditional generative adversarial network and neural style transfer. The results indicate that our approach improves the semantic similarity of the reconstructed images and can be used as a general framework for enhanced image reconstruction.

  generative models can synthesize "views" of artificial images that mimic real-world variations, such as changes in color or pose.

We use StyleGAN2 as the source of generative augmentations and investigate this setup on classification tasks involving facial attributes, cat faces, and cars.

  We propose a novel self-supervised image rectification (SIR) method based on an important insight that the rectified results of distorted images of the same scene from different lens should be the same. We leverage a differentiable warping module to generate the rectified images and re-distorted images from the distortion parameters. Our method achieves comparable or even better performance than the supervised baseline method and representative state-of-the-art methods.
