Exploring Affordances for AR in Laparoscopy [PDF]
, 2023 This paper explores the possibilities of designing AR interfaces to be used during laparoscopy surgery. It suggests that the laparoscopic video be displayed on AR headsets and that surgeons can consult preoperative image data on that display. Interaction with these elements is necessary, and no patterns exist to design them.

Real-time Nonrigid Mosaicking of Laparoscopy Images [PDF]
, 2021 The ability to extend the field of view of laparoscopy images can help the surgeons to obtain a better understanding of the anatomical context. However, due to tissue deformation, complex camera motion and significant three-dimensional (3D) anatomical surface, image pixels may have non-rigid deformation and traditional mosaicking methods cannot work ...

Self-Supervised Learning for Endoscopic Video Analysis [PDF]
MICCAI 2023, 2023 Self-supervised learning (SSL) has led to important breakthroughs in computer vision by allowing learning from large amounts of unlabeled data. As such, it might have a pivotal role to play in biomedicine where annotating data requires a highly specialized expertise. Yet, there are many healthcare domains for which SSL has not been extensively explored.
