arXiv:2607. 29509v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Effective multi-organ segmentation in surgical data requires learning the intricate anatomical features and alleviating the challenge of class imbalance, which results from relatively lower proportions of small and limitedly exposed structures.
TEDi is a Temporal memory-Enhanced and Denoising Transformer designed for surgical instrument segmentation. It introduces a query-level memory bank with a memory search enhancement encoder to incorporate discriminative representations from past frames, and a temporal consistency denoising module that builds a cross‑frame semantic anchor to stabilize predictions. Experiments on EndoVis 2017 and EndoVis 2018 show that TEDi outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art methods, indicating its effectiveness for computer‑assisted surgery.

WoundAmbit is a framework that evaluates state‑of‑the‑art deep learning models for wound segmentation, benchmarking general‑purpose vision, medical imaging, and public wound challenge methods under standardized training, augmentation, and cross‑validation. The study finds transformer‑based TransNeXt offers the best generalizability, while all models run at least one image per second on a CPU and show strong interpretability and expert‑approved mask quality. The framework also introduces a reference‑object approach to convert masks into clinically relevant wound size estimates, demonstrating close alignment with expert annotations and integration into a custom telehealth system.
