Endoscopic image enhancement with noise suppression

Endoscopic image enhancement with noise suppression

Stereoscopic endoscopes have been used increasingly in minimally invasive surgery to visualise the organ surface and manipulate various surgical tools. However, insufficient and irregular light sources become major challenges for endoscopic surgery. Not only do these conditions hinder image processi...
