准确重建软组织对于推动图像引导的机器人手术自动化至关重要。尽管近期的3D高斯点云技术(3DGS)能够实时渲染动态手术场景,但在光照变化的情况下,如低光和过曝,仍面临挑战。为此,本文提出Endo-4DGX,一种专为内窥镜场景设计的光照自适应高斯点云重建方法。通过引入光照嵌入,该方法有效建模视角依赖的亮度变化,并引入区域感知增强模块和空间感知调整模块,以实现一致的亮度调整。实验结果表明,Endo-4DGX在低光和过曝条件下的渲染性能显著优于现有方法,展示了其在机器人辅助手术中的潜力。

📄 摘要(原文)

Accurate reconstruction of soft tissue is crucial for advancing automation in image-guided robotic surgery. The recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) techniques and their variants, 4DGS, achieve high-quality renderings of dynamic surgical scenes in real-time. However, 3D-GS-based methods still struggle in scenarios with varying illumination, such as low light and over-exposure. Training 3D-GS in such extreme light conditions leads to severe optimization problems and devastating rendering quality. To address these challenges, we present Endo-4DGX, a novel reconstruction method with illumination-adaptive Gaussian Splatting designed specifically for endoscopic scenes with uneven lighting. By incorporating illumination embeddings, our method effectively models view-dependent brightness variations. We introduce a region-aware enhancement module to model the sub-area lightness at the Gaussian level and a spatial-aware adjustment module to learn the view-consistent brightness adjustment. With the illumination adaptive design, Endo-4DGX achieves superior rendering performance under both low-light and over-exposure conditions while maintaining geometric accuracy. Additionally, we employ an exposure control loss to restore the appearance from adverse exposure to the normal level for illumination-adaptive optimization. Experimental results demonstrate that Endo-4DGX significantly outperforms combinations of state-of-the-art reconstruction and restoration methods in challenging lighting environments, underscoring its potential to advance robot-assisted surgical applications.
