Development of a Deep Learning-Based Algorithm to Detect the Distal End of a Surgical Instrument

This work aims to develop an algorithm to detect the distal end of a surgical instrument using object detection with deep learning. We employed nine video recordings of carotid endarterectomies for training and testing. We obtained regions of interest (ROI; 32 × 32 pixels), at the end of the surgica...
