Evaluation of Methods for Detection and Semantic Segmentation of the Anterior Capsulotomy in Cataract Surgery Video.

Background: The capsulorhexis is one of the most important and challenging maneuvers in cataract surgery. Automated analysis of the anterior capsulotomy could aid surgical training through the provision of objective feedback and guidance to trainees.

Purpose: To develop and evaluate a deep learning-based system for the automated identification and semantic segmentation of the anterior capsulotomy in cataract surgery video.
