    Seeing Through Smoke: Surgical Desmoking for Improved Visual Perception

    arXiv 2026 · Preprint

    A surgical vision paper on real-time digital desmoking for robot-assisted procedures. It introduces a transformer-based model with a physics-inspired desmoking head, a synthetic paired-data pipeline, and a 5,817-pair real stereo smoke benchmark for evaluating reconstruction quality and downstream perception.

    SurgiSR 4K: A High-Resolution Endoscopic Video Dataset for Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Procedures

    MELBA 2025 · Dataset Paper

    A public native-4K surgical endoscopy dataset for robotic-assisted minimally invasive procedures. The dataset provides high-resolution images and clips captured under realistic surgical conditions, supporting super-resolution, smoke removal, instrument detection, depth estimation, segmentation, novel-view synthesis, and VLM research.
