Individual Activity Anomaly Estimation in Operating Rooms Based on Time-Sequential Prediction.

ABSTRACT

Surveillance videos of operating rooms have potential to benefit post-operative analysis and study. However, there is currently no effective method to extract useful information from the long and massive videos. As a step towards tackling this issue, we propose a novel method to recognize and evaluate individual activities using an anomaly estimation model based on time-sequential prediction. We verified the effectiveness of our method by comparing two time-sequential features individual bounding boxes and body key points. Experiment results using actual surgery videos show that the bounding boxes are suitable for predicting and detecting regional movements, while the anomaly scores using key points can hardly be used to detect activities. As future work, we will be proceeding with extending our activity prediction for detecting unexpected and urgent events.
