Extracting and Using Medical Expert Knowledge to Advance in Video Processing for Gynecologic Endoscopy
Andreas Leibetseder, Klaus Schoeffmann · 2018
Modern day endoscopic technology enables medical staff to conveniently document surgeries via recording raw treatment footage, which can be utilized for planning further proceedings, future case revisitations or even educational purposes. However, the prospect of manually perusing recorded media files constitutes a tedious additional workload on physicians' already packed timetables and therefore ultimately represents a burden rather than a benefit. The aim of this PhD project is to improve upon this situation by closely collaborating with medical experts in order to devise datasets and systems to facilitate semi-automatic post-surgical media processing.
