Researchers have developed EndoUFM, a novel unsupervised framework designed to improve depth estimation in endoscopic images. This approach leverages dual foundation models to overcome the domain gap between natural images and surgical environments. The framework incorporates an adaptive fine-tuning strategy using RVLoRA and a Residual block based on Depthwise Separable Convolution (Res-DSC) to enhance local feature capture. Additionally, a mask-guided smoothness loss is implemented to ensure depth consistency within anatomical structures, ultimately aiming to enhance surgical precision and safety. AI
