Transfer Learning for Endoscopic Image Classification [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 In this paper we propose a method for transfer learning of endoscopic images. For transferring between features obtained from images taken by different (old and new) endoscopes, we extend the Max-Margin Domain Transfer (MMDT) proposed by Hoffman et al. in order to use L2 distance constraints as regularization, called Max-Margin Domain Transfer with L2 ...

Self-supervised Dense 3D Reconstruction from Monocular Endoscopic Video [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present a self-supervised learning-based pipeline for dense 3D reconstruction from full-length monocular endoscopic videos without a priori modeling of anatomy or shading. Our method only relies on unlabeled monocular endoscopic videos and conventional multi-view stereo algorithms, and requires neither manual interaction nor patient CT in both ...
