• Abstract: Robotic-assisted tracheal intubation requires the robot to distinguish anatomical features like an experienced physician using deep-learning techniques. However, real datasets of oropharyngeal organs are limited due to patient privacy issues, making it challenging to train deep-learning models for accurate image segmentation. We hereby consider generating a new data modality through a virtual environment to assist the training process. Specifically, this work introduces a virtual dataset generated by the Simulation Open Framework Architecture (SOFA) framework to overcome the limited availability of actual endoscopic images. We also propose a domain adaptive Sim-to-Real method for oropharyngeal organ image segmentation, which employs an image blending strategy called IoU-Ranking Blend (IRB) and style-transfer techniques to address discrepancies between datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach with domain adaptive models, improving segmentation accuracy and training stability. In the practical application, the trained segmentation model holds great promise for robot-assisted intubation surgery and intelligent surgical navigation.

  Video-assisted transoral tracheal intubation (TI) necessitates using an endoscope that helps the physician insert a tracheal tube into the glottis instead of the esophagus. The real of oropharyngeal organs are often inaccessible due to limited open-source data and patient privacy.
