Paper MICCAI (2007): "A Boosted Segmentation Method for Surgical Workflow Analysis"
Abstract As demands on hospital efficiency increase, there is a stronger need for automatic analysis, recovery, and modification of surgical workflows. Even though most of the previous work has dealt with higher level and hospital-wide workflow including issues like document management, workflow is also an important issue within the surgery room. Its study has a […]
