摘要

外科手術在醫學中對患者的治療是很重要的醫療過程。儘管機器人或機械手臂已廣泛的運用於工業上，但目前並沒有看到被應用在外科手術。這是因為用於醫用機器人在視覺上的問題，其技術是項挑戰。在本研究目標是開發一個視覺基礎的系統，可以自動識別與定位手術器材。研究的方法包括：(1) 影像前處理；(2) 區塊分割；及(3) 物件辨識。在研究中使用一組手術器材(例如：手術刀、持針器、止血鉗)，研究結果顯示我們的系統可以達到超過83.8%的辨識率。總結而言，本系統可與機器人或機械手臂結合，發揮手術助手的作用，雖然這超出了本研究的範圍。

In medicine, surgical operations are important clinical procedure for patient treatment. Although robots and/or robot arms have been widely used in industry, they are not yet seen in surgical operations at present. This is partly because the technical challenge of implementing such a medical robot remains in resolving the vision problems. In this study, our objective is to develop a vision-based system for the automatic recognition and localization of surgical equipment. The technical approaches include: (1) image preprocessing; (2) region segmentation; and (3) object recognition. Using a set of surgical equipment, i.e., scalpels, acutenaculums, and haemostats, preliminary results showed that our system could achieve the recognition rate of over 83.8%. In conclusion, our system has the potentials to be incorporated in a robot and/or a robot arm to play the role of a surgical assistant, despite that this is beyond the scope of this study.
