Description
Summary:Surgical data analysis is crucial for developing and integrating context-aware systems (CAS) in advanced operating rooms. Automatic detection of surgical tools is an essential component in CAS, as it enables the recognition of surgical activities and understanding the contextual status of the procedure. Acquiring surgical data is challenging due to ethical constraints and the complexity of establishing data recording infrastructures. For machine learning tasks, there is also the large burden of data labelling. Although a relatively large dataset, namely the Cholec80, is publicly available, it is limited to the binary label data corresponding to the surgical tool presence. In this work, 15,691 frames from five videos from the dataset have been labelled with bounding boxes for surgical tool localisation. These newly labelled data support future research in developing and evaluating object detection models, particularly in the laparoscopic image data analysis domain.
