What we do
Our research focuses on developing advanced sensing technologies and cognitive vision systems that analyze surgical environments in real time. We work on surgical video analysis, simulating surgical scenes, and reconstructing them for improved intraoperative navigation. Our work also includes depth sensing from endoscopic cameras and generating synthetic datasets to improve the accuracy of surgical tool detection and scene understanding.
Why it is important?
Surgical environments are often complex and dynamic, requiring real-time understanding and adaptation to ensure precise actions. By improving the surgeon’s ability to analyze and interact with these environments through cognitive vision and sensing systems, we aim to reduce intraoperative errors, enhance decision-making, and improve the precision of surgeries. These technologies are critical for the future of robot-assisted surgeries and personalized treatment approaches.
How can it benefit patients?
With better real-time understanding of the surgical environment, these technologies will allow for more precise, less invasive procedures, minimizing tissue damage and enhancing recovery times. Patients will experience fewer complications, more successful surgeries, and a reduction in the need for follow-up interventions. This will directly translate to improved overall patient outcomes and shorter hospital stays.
