High-Precision Centroid Localization Algorithm for Star Sensor Under Strong Straylight Condition by Jindong Yuan, Junfeng Wu, Guohua Kang

“…Star sensor is disturbed by strong straylight, which increases the gray level of the captured star map, and this leads to invalid detection of star points and affects the high-precision location of the centroid. To address this issue, we propose a star centroid localization method based on gradient-oriented multi-directional local contrast enhancement. …”

Using Masked Image Modelling Transformer Architecture for Laparoscopic Surgical Tool Classification and Localization by Hisham ElMoaqet, Rami Janini, Mutaz Ryalat, Ghaith Al-Refai, Tamer Abdulbaki Alshirbaji, Nour Aldeen Jalal, Thomas Neumuth, Knut Moeller, Nassir Navab

“…In particular, we leverage the Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Image Transformers (BEiT) model for tool classification and then utilize the heat maps generated from the multi-headed attention layers in the BEiT model for the localizing of these tools. Furthermore, the model incorporates class weights to address the class imbalance issue resulting from different usage frequencies of surgical tools in surgeries. …”
