TransGHOST: Real-Time, Synthesis-Free Reconstruction of Instrument-Occluded Regions in Ophthalmic Microsurgery

TransGHOST: Real-Time, Synthesis-Free Reconstruction of Instrument-Occluded Regions in Ophthalmic Microsurgery

Summary

This research introduces TransGHOST, a non-generative, real-time reconstruction system for instrument-occluded scenes in ophthalmic microsurgery. By resampling recorded frames using geometric transforms fitted to visible regions, the method provides per-pixel confidence and provenance while abstaining on unsupported areas. Evaluated on a new veterinary clinical corpus of canine cataract surgery with pixel-level labels, TransGHOST achieves 31.89 dB masked PSNR and 0.915 masked SSIM in safe mode at median latency of 51.7 ms, outperforming LaMa by 3.45 dB on matched-mask validation and demonstrating robustness to occluded candidate references.

Editorial context

The study presents a causal reference-guided reconstruction pipeline for ophthalmic microsurgery that avoids generative synthesis to preserve visual provenance, achieving real-time performance on a veterinary canine cataract surgery corpus with verified occluded-region metrics.
