Stereo Endoscopic Dataset

This dataset was created based on a clinical procedure named Radical Prostatectomy with lymphadenectomy using da Vinci Xi surgical system (Intuitive Surgical Inc., USA) at European Institute of Oncology (IEO, Milan, Italy). <br> The videos were recorded with a 3D HD video recorder (HVO-3300MT, SONY, Tokyo). The dataset is divided into 6 folders concerning the steps of the procedure: <br> clips<br> dissection<br> irrigation<br> suction<br> suturing<br> traction Each step is then divided into four phases of the procedure:<br> 1 - collapse of the peritoneum<br> 2 - prostate removal<br> 3 - lymphadenectomy <br> 4 - anastomosis Each frame is labeled as follows: Camera_step_NumberOfTheFrame<br> for example, for the first frame, left lens of the Da Vinci endoscope, in the dissection step we have: L_dissection_000000.jpg In the folders, we also provide the text files created on Anvil (ground truth labels), which contain important surgical context information, including the steps, phases and types of surgical instruments. This dataset could be used for: 1. Evaluation of surgical scene reconstruction models 2. Training of unsupervised learning based networks 3. Surgical workflow recognition based on stereo images or point clouds.
