This research aims to enhance surgical imaging by improving sim-to-real transfer through a curated generative pipeline.
Developed a data-centric pipeline combining synthetic data, generative realism boosting, and model-guided filtering.
Used Unity for synthetic image generation and CycleGAN-TURBO for image enhancement.
Applied a YOLO-based model to filter generative outputs based on Dice similarity scoring.
The baseline model achieved a Dice score of 0.17 with synthetic images; the hybrid dataset improved this to 0.44.
In type-based configuration, the hybrid curated dataset reached a mean Dice score of 0.65, surpassing fully synthetic baselines (0.384).
Curation of generated outputs significantly impacted sim-to-real transfer, emphasizing data quality over training variations.
