RT Conference Proceedings T1 Minimally Invasive Surgery Maneuver Recognition Based on Surgeon’s Model A1 Estébanez-Campos, María Belén A1 Jimenez Ruiz, Gema A1 Muñoz-Martínez, Víctor Fernando A1 García-Morales, Isabel A1 Bauzano-Núñez, Enrique A1 Molina, Jaime K1 Ingeniería biomédica K1 Cirugía AB This paper proposes a new user interface based on a maneuver recognition system, which models the surgeonbehavior. This interface includes three different modules: data acquisition and coding, training system and on-line recognitionsystem. The aim is defined as recognizing the surgeon movements while is performing a surgical maneuver, by using a3D surgical tool tracker. The obtained measurements are converted in to movement symbols by means of a Wavelettransform and a fuzzy clustering. These symbols are used both for training HMM and for recognizing the current maneuver.The system has been tested in some in-vitro experiments performing a fictitious surgical protocol.
