To develop and evaluate an image-processing method that removes surgical instrument occlusions in endoscopic video feeds by rendering foreground tools transparent.
Designed an algorithm utilizing image restoration and interframe information filling to make foreground surgical instruments transparent (hyalinization).
Tested the occlusion-removal framework using real-world clinical endoscopic imaging data.
Successfully eliminated foreground instrument occlusions by reconstructing hidden background structures from adjacent video frames.
Improved visual field clarity and operative visibility relative to unprocessed endoscopic footage.
