• Abstract: Semantic segmentation in surgical videos has applications in intra-operative guidance, post-operative analytics and surgical education. Segmentation models need to provide accurate and consistent predictions since temporally inconsistent identification of anatomical structures can impair usability and hinder patient safety. Video information can alleviate these challenges leading to reliable models suitable for clinical use. We propose a novel architecture for modelling temporal relationships in videos. The proposed model includes a spatio-temporal decoder to enable video semantic segmentation by improving temporal consistency across frames. The encoder processes individual frames whilst the decoder processes a temporal batch of adjacent frames. The proposed decoder can be used on top of any segmentation encoder to improve temporal consistency. Model performance was evaluated on the CholecSeg8k dataset and a private dataset of robotic Partial Nephrectomy procedures. Segmentation performance was improved when the temporal decoder was applied across both datasets. The proposed model also displayed improvements in temporal consistency.

  We introduce an appearance-based refinement method that leverages temporal consistency in video streams to correct inaccurate flow-based proposals. Our approach involves a sequence-level selection mechanism that identifies accurate flow-predicted masks as exemplars. Its performance is evaluated on multiple video segmentation benchmarks, including DAVIS, YouTube, SegTrackv2, and FBMS-59.

  We present Temporally Constrained Neural Networks (TCNN), a semi-supervised framework used for video semantic segmentation of surgical videos. In this work, we show that autoencoder networks can be used to efficiently provide both spatial and temporal supervisory signals. We demonstrate that lower-dimensional representations of predicted masks can be leveraged to provide a consistent improvement on both sparsely labeled datasets.
