• Liver surface reconstruction for image guided surgery 

      Wang, Congcong; Alaya Cheikh, Faouzi; Kaaniche, Mounir; Elle, Ole Jacob (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      In image guided surgery, stereo laparoscopes have been introduced to provide a 3D view of the organs during the laparoscopic intervention. This stereo video could possibly be used for other purposes other than simple ...
    • Multiscale deep desmoking for laparoscopic surgery 

      Wang, Congcong; Mohammed, Ahmed Kedir; Alaya Cheikh, Faouzi; Beghdadi, Azeddine; Elle, Ole Jacob (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In minimally invasive surgery, smoke generated by such as electrocautery and laser ablation deteriorates image quality severely. This creates discomfortable view for the surgeon which may increase surgical risk and degrade ...
    • StreoScenNet: Surgical stereo robotic scene segmentation 

      Mohammed, Ahmed Kedir; Yildirim Yayilgan, Sule; Farup, Ivar; Pedersen, Marius; Hovde, Øistein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Surgical robot technology has revolutionized surgery toward a safer laparoscopic surgery and ideally been suited for surgeries requiring minimal invasiveness. Sematic segmentation from robot-assisted surgery videos is an ...
    • Towards a video quality assessment based framework for enhancement of laparoscopic videos 

      Khan, Zohaib Amjad; Beghdadi, Azeddine; Alaya Cheikh, Faouzi; Kaaniche, Mounir; Pelanis, Egidijus; Palomar, Rafael; Fretland, Åsmund Avdem; Edwin, Bjørn; Elle, Ole Jacob (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Laparoscopic videos can be affected by different distortions which may impact the performance of surgery and introduce surgical errors. In this work, we propose a framework for automatically detecting and identifying such ...
    • Towards real-time medical diagnostics using hyperspectral imaging technology 

      Bjorgan, Asgeir; Randeberg, Lise Lyngsnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Hyperspectral imaging provides non-contact, high resolution spectral images which has a substantial diagnostic potential. This can be used for e.g. diagnosis and early detection of arthritis in finger joints. Processing ...
    • Vessel contrast enhancement in hyperspectral images 

      Bjorgan, Asgeir; Denstedt, Martin Anders Fredrik; Milanic, Matija; Paluchowski, Lukasz A.; Randeberg, Lise Lyngsnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Imaging of vessel structures can be useful for investigation of endothelial function, angiogenesis and hyper-vascularization. This can be challenging for hyperspectral tissue imaging due to photon scattering and absorption ...
