Abstract (arXiv)

Tissue awareness has a great demand to improve surgical accuracy in minimally invasive procedures. In arthroscopy, it is one of the challenging tasks due to surgical sites exhibit limited features and textures. Moreover, arthroscopic surgical video shows high intra-class variations. Arthroscopic videos are recorded with endoscope known as arthroscope which records tissue structures at proximity, therefore, frames contain minimal joint structure. As consequences, fully conventional network-based segmentation model suffers from long- and short- term dependency problems. In this study, we present a densely connected shape aware multi-scale segmentation model which captures multi-scale features and integrates shape features to achieve tissue-tool segmentations. The model has been evaluated with three distinct datasets. Moreover, with the publicly available polyp dataset our proposed model achieved 5.09 % accuracy improvement.
