SLAM based Quasi Dense Reconstruction For Minimally Invasive Surgery Scenes [PDF]
Recovering surgical scene structure in laparoscope surgery is crucial step for surgical guidance and augmented reality applications. In this paper, a quasi dense reconstruction algorithm of surgical scene is proposed. This is based on a state-of-the-art SLAM system, and is exploiting the initial exploration phase that is typically performed by the ...
