Attention-Aware Laparoscopic Image Desmoking Network with Lightness Embedding and Hybrid Guided Embedding
This paper presents a novel method of smoke removal from the laparoscopic images. Due to the heterogeneous nature of surgical smoke, a two-stage network is proposed to estimate the smoke distribution and reconstruct a clear, smoke-free surgical scene. The utilization of the lightness channel plays a pivotal role in providing vital information pertaining to smoke density. The reconstruction of smoke-free image is guided by a hybrid embedding, which combines the estimated smoke mask with the initial image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method boasts a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio that is $2.79\%$ higher than the state-of-the-art methods, while also exhibits a remarkable $38.2\%$ reduction in run-time. Overall, the proposed method offers comparable or even superior performance in terms of both smoke removal quality and computational efficiency when compared to existing state-of-the-art methods.
