Abstract
Conventional surgical assistance and skill analysis for suturing mostly focus on the motions of the tools. As the quality of the suturing is determined by needle motions relative to the tissues, having knowledge of the needle motion would be useful for surgical assistance and skill analysis. As the first step toward demonstrating the usefulness of the knowledge of the needle motion, we developed a needle detection algorithm. Owing to the small...
