surgXplore: Interactive Video Exploration for Endoscopy

Abstract

Accumulating recordings of daily conducted surgical interventions such as endoscopic procedures for the long term generates very large video archives that are both difficult to search and explore. Since physicians utilize this kind of media routinely for documentation, treatment planning or education and training, it can be considered a crucial task to make said archives manageable in regards to discovering or retrieving relevant content. We present an interactive tool including a multitude of modalities for browsing, searching and filtering medical content, demonstrating its usefulness on over 140 hours of pre-processed laparoscopic surgery videos.
