Researchers have developed EndoMINI, a new self-supervised framework designed to improve depth estimation in endoscopic surgeries. The framework utilizes a mixture of low-rank experts (MiLoRE) for efficient fine-tuning and better adaptation to diverse endoscopic scenes. Additionally, an intrinsic image alignment (IIA) component is incorporated to mitigate the effects of varying light reflectance, employing a novel intrinsic image decomposition network. Evaluations on benchmark datasets like SCARED, Hamlyn, and SERV-CT demonstrated EndoMINI's superior performance in both supervised and zero-shot depth estimation tasks. AI
