Automatic Detection of Camera Rotation Moments in Trans-Nasal Minimally Invasive Surgery Using Machine Learning Algorithm
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an advanced surgical technique that relies on a camera to provide the surgeon with a visual field. When the camera rotates along its longitudinal axis, the horizon of the surgical view tilts, increasing the difficulty of the procedure and the cognitive load on the surgeon. To address this, we proposed training a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect camera rotation, laying the groundwork for the automatic correction of this issue during MIS procedures. Methods: We collected trans-nasal MIS procedure videos from YouTube and labeled each frame as either “tilted” or “non-tilted”. The dataset consisted of 2116 video frames, with 497 frames labeled as “tilted” and 1619 frames as “non-tilted”. This dataset was randomly divided into three subsets: training (70%), validation (20%), and testing (10%) Results: The ResNet50 was trained on the dataset for 10 epochs, achieving an accuracy of 96.9% at epoch 6 with a validation loss of 0.0242 before validation accuracy began to decrease. On the test set, the model achieved an accuracy of 96% with an average loss of 0.0256. The final F1 score was 0.94, and the Matthews Correlation Coefficient was 0.9168, with no significant bias toward either class. The trained ResNet50 model demonstrated a high success rate in predicting significant camera rotation without favoring the more frequent class in the dataset. Conclusions: The trained CNN accurately detected camera rotation with high precision, establishing a foundation for developing an automatic correction system for camera rotation in MIS procedures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
