Performance of Stereovision-based Soft Tissue 3D Reconstruction in Laparoscopy

Abstract

The work presented in this paper deals with the performance of the stereovision in laparoscopy. In fact, the 3D reconstruction of soft tissue during a laparoscopic surgery in very challenging, because of the nature of the organs and the environment inside the abdominal cavity (lighting, smoke, frame blurriness). The most important step for the stereovision process is the feature detection. In this paper, we discuss the performance of some filters to achieve the 3D reconstruction.
