• Abstract: The accurate 3D reconstruction of deformable soft body tissues from endoscopic videos is a pivotal challenge in medical applications such as VR surgery and medical image analysis. Existing methods often struggle with accuracy and the ambiguity of hallucinated tissue parts, limiting their practical utility. In this work, we introduce EndoGaussians, a novel approach that employs Gaussian Splatting for dynamic endoscopic 3D reconstruction. This method marks the first use of Gaussian Splatting in this context, overcoming the limitations of previous NeRF-based techniques. Our method sets new state-of-the-art standards, as demonstrated by quantitative assessments on various endoscope datasets. These advancements make our method a promising tool for medical professionals, offering more reliable and efficient 3D reconstructions for practical applications in the medical field.

  We present SurgicalGS, a dynamic 3D Gaussian Splatting framework specifically designed for surgical scene reconstruction with improved geometric accuracy. Our approach first initialises a Gaussian point cloud using depth priors, employing binary motion masks to identify pixels with significant depth variations and fusing point clouds from depth maps across frames for initialisation. We use the Flexible Deformation Model to represent dynamic scene and introduce a normalised depth regularisation loss along with an unsupervised depth smoothness constraint to ensure more accurate geometric reconstruction.

  NeRF-based techniques have recently garnered attention for the ability to reconstruct scenes implicitly. On the other hand, 3D-GS represents scenes explicitly using 3D Gaussians and projects them onto a 2D plane as a replacement for the complex volume rendering in NeRF. This work explores and reviews state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches, discussing their innovations and implementation principles.

  Reconstruction of endoscopic scenes is an important asset for various medical applications, from post-surgery analysis to educational training. We adress the challenging setup of a moving endoscope within a highly dynamic environment of deforming tissue. We propose an implicit scene separation into multiple overlapping 4D neural radiance fields (NeRFs) and a progressive optimization scheme jointly optimizing for reconstruction and camera poses from scratch. This improves the ease-of-use and allows to scale reconstruction capabilities in time to process surgical videos of 5,000 frames and more; an improvement of more than ten times compared to the state of the art while being agnostic to external tracking information
