Wound3DAssist is a practical framework that creates 3D wound models from short handheld videos taken with consumer‑grade devices, enabling non‑contact, automatic measurements of wound surfaces. The system integrates 3D reconstruction, wound segmentation, tissue classification, and periwound analysis into a modular workflow. Evaluations on digital models, silicone phantoms, and real patients show millimeter‑scale reconstruction accuracy and multi‑view tissue composition analysis, with full assessments completed in under 20 minutes.
Dermatological practice routinely involves measuring and tracking lesion size, morphology and texture, as critical components of wound or skin cancer screening, monitoring and diagnosis. To accomplish this task, practitioners often image the skin surface with commonly available off-the-shelf camera sensors.
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.
WoundAIssist is an AI‑driven mobile application designed to support remote chronic wound care for elderly patients. It allows patients to capture wound images and complete questionnaires at home, while physicians monitor progress through remote video consultations and on‑device deep‑learning segmentation. A usability study involving patients and dermatologists found the app to be highly usable, of good quality, and positively received for its AI‑driven wound recognition.

The paper presents a camera‑pose‑free stereo endoscopic method for recovering tissue deformation by modeling geometry as a 3D point‑derivative map and deformation as a 3D displacement‑local deformation map. It optimizes inter‑frame deformation in a camera‑centric setting, eliminating the need for camera pose estimation, and introduces a canonical map for online geometry and deformation optimization. Experiments on in‑vivo and ex‑vivo laparoscopic data show accurate 3D reconstruction (≈0.37–0.39 mm surface distance) even under occlusion, and the method can estimate surface strain distributions during manipulation.

MV-dVRK is the first ex‑vivo surgical dataset that provides multiple exposure‑synchronized stereo viewpoints, accurate surface geometry, and ground‑truth camera poses for endoscopic images. The benchmark’s static subset offers dense SfM reference geometry validated against an industrial 3D scanner, while the dynamic sequences cover ten surgical tasks with increasing kinematic complexity and tissue deformation. Using MV‑dVRK, the authors systematically compare zero‑shot monocular, stereo, multi‑stereo, and multi‑view 3D reconstruction methods, finding that multi‑stereo reconstruction with two endoscopes yields the highest coverage, and that optimization‑based multi‑view methods outperform feed‑forward foundation models when a third viewpoint is added.

SCOPE-4D is an endoscopic 4D geometry foundation model that predicts camera parameters, dense geometry, and 3D tissue trajectories from monocular RGB video in a single forward pass. The authors introduce SCOPE-5K, a curated dataset of about 5,000 real and synthetic gastrointestinal endoscopy and laparoscopy clips, and use it for geometric supervised fine‑tuning. Adding Common–Residual Motion (CRM) constraints and trajectory supervision further improves camera and depth estimation and enables dense 3D tissue tracking, as shown by evaluations on public and new benchmarks and a blinded user study.
The paper introduces two YOLOv11-based instance segmentation models that simultaneously perform wound boundary segmentation and wound classification across five clinically relevant wound types. Using a balanced dataset of 2,963 annotated images and data augmentation, the models achieve high performance, with YOLOv11x excelling in boundary segmentation and YOLOv11m and YOLOv11l leading in classification metrics. The lightweight YOLOv11n variant offers comparable accuracy with lower computational demands, making it suitable for resource-constrained clinical and remote care deployments.
