Abstract
A fully automated framework for video-based surgical skill assessment is presented that incorporates the sequential and qualitative aspects of surgical motion in a data-driven manner. The Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) assessments is replicated, which provides both an overall and in-detail evaluation of basic suturing skills required for surgeons. Video analysis techniques are introduced that incorporate sequential motion aspects into motion textures. Significant performance improvement over standard bag-of-words and motion analysis approaches is demonstrated. The framework is evaluated in a case study that involved medical students with varying levels of expertise performing basic surgical tasks in a surgical training lab setting.
