SurgTAP-3D: A Large-Scale Cross-Surgery Video Dataset with Contact-Aware 3D Motion Tracking

SurgTAP-3D: A Large-Scale Cross-Surgery Video Dataset with Contact-Aware 3D Motion Tracking

Summary

This paper introduces SurgTAP-3D, a large-scale in-vivo pseudo-3D surgical motion tracking dataset and benchmark containing 520K frames, 4,549 action clips, and 1.4M 2D/3D point trajectories from diverse robotic and manual procedures.

Editorial context

The authors present SurgTAP-3D, a new dataset and benchmark for surgical motion tracking that addresses limitations in existing MIS datasets by providing large-scale, contact-aware 3D annotations derived from uncalibrated monocular videos.

The dataset captures realistic challenges inherent to surgical environments, including occlusions, smoke, bleeding, and rapid instrument motion. We establish a comprehensive benchmark on SurgPose, SurgT, and STIR, covering both instrument and tissue tracking. We demonstrate instrument displacement estimation, deformable s

arXiv:2611.11697v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding 3D scene dynamics in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is a fundamental step toward physically intelligent and autonomous surgical systems. However, existing public datasets offer limited scalability and diversity in real-world clinical scenarios. Moreover, annotations typically focus on either tissue or instruments alone, overlooking tool-tissue interact

Implications for data suppliers

RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.

  • Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
  • Compare the reported units and scope before using these quantities in a budget. Recording hours, sensor-hours and trajectories are different measures.
  • Check the exact dataset version, license, modalities and task coverage against the intended use.
  • Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
