High-fidelity Endoscopic Image Synthesis by Utilizing Depth-guided Neural Surfaces

arXiv:2404.13437v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: In surgical oncology, screening colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in providing diagnostic assistance, such as biopsy, and facilitating surgical navigation, particularly in polyp detection. Computer-assisted endoscopic surgery has recently gained attention and amalgamated various 3D computer vision techniques, including camera localization, depth estimation, surface reconstruction, etc. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and Neural Implicit Surfaces (NeuS) have emerged as promising methodologies for deriving accurate 3D surface models from sets of registered images, addressing the limitations of …
