Investigating a Policy-Based Formulation for Endoscopic Camera Pose Recovery

ArXi:2603.20045v1 Announce Type: cross In endoscopic surgery, surgeons continuously locate the endoscopic view relative to the anatomy by interpreting the evolving visual appearance of the intraoperative scene in the context of their prior knowledge. Vision-based navigation systems seek to replicate this capability by recovering camera pose directly from endoscopic video, but most approaches do not embody the same principles of reasoning about new frames that makes surgeons successful.
