Identification of Steel Surgical Instruments using Ortho-image with Dimension Information

Abstract

In the medical field, there is a need for more efficient management of surgical instruments in preparation for the increase in the number of surgeries due to the arrival of a super-aging society. In this study, we propose a method to count surgical instruments before and after surgery using an RGB-D camera. The proposed method uses an RGB-D camera to generate an ortho-image of a surgical instruments, detects the surgical instruments using Faster R-CNN, and then performs identification based on dimensional information.
