TransGHOST reconstructs occluded surgical video in real-time without synthesis

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed TransGHOST, a novel real-time pipeline for reconstructing instrument-occluded regions in ophthalmic microsurgery videos. Unlike generative inpainting methods, TransGHOST operates without synthesis, resampling recorded frames using geometric transforms fitted to visible areas. This approach ensures visual provenance and provides per-pixel confidence, marking unsupported pixels as abstentions. Evaluations on a new corpus of canine cataract surgery demonstrated significant performance in masked PSNR and SSIM, with low latency suitable for real-time application. AI

IMPACT This method could improve real-time surgical guidance systems by providing clearer visuals during instrument occlusions.

    TransGHOST: Real-Time, Synthesis-Free Reconstruction of Instrument-Occluded Regions in Ophthalmic Microsurgery

    arXiv:2611.13971v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Intraoperative scene perception in ophthalmic microsurgery is limited by instrument occlusion: when a tool enters the high-magnification field, it conceals tissue from both the surgeon and the perception components of robot-assist…
