Analysis

This paper addresses a critical challenge in the field of structured light: maintaining the integrity of the light's structure when transmitted through flexible waveguides, particularly for applications like endoscopes. The authors investigate the limitations of existing multimode fibers and propose a novel solution using ion-exchange waveguides, demonstrating improved resilience to deformation. This work is significant because it advances the feasibility of using structured light in practical, flexible imaging systems.
Reference

The study confirms that imperfections in commercially available multimode fibers are responsible for undesirable alterations in the output structured light fields during bending. The ion-exchange waveguides exhibit previously unseen resilience of structured light transport even under severe deformation conditions.

Analysis

This paper addresses the critical need for real-time instance segmentation in spinal endoscopy to aid surgeons. The challenge lies in the demanding surgical environment (narrow field of view, artifacts, etc.) and the constraints of surgical hardware. The proposed LMSF-A framework offers a lightweight and efficient solution, balancing accuracy and speed, and is designed to be stable even with small batch sizes. The release of a new, clinically-reviewed dataset (PELD) is a valuable contribution to the field.
Reference

LMSF-A is highly competitive (or even better than) in all evaluation metrics and much lighter than most instance segmentation methods requiring only 1.8M parameters and 8.8 GFLOPs.
