Abstract
Embodiments described herein include a process for detecting energy tool activations. The process can begin by receiving a surgical video of a surgical procedure involving energy tool activations. The process then applies a sequence of sampling windows to the surgical video to generate a sequence of windowed samples of the surgical video. Next, for each windowed sample in the sequence of windowed samples, the process applies a deep-learning model to a sequence of video frames within the windowed sample to generate an activation/non-activation inference and a confidence level associated with the activation/non-activation inference for the windowed sample. As a result, a sequence of activation/non-activation inferences and a sequence of associated confidence levels are generated. The process subsequently identifies a sequence of activation events in the surgical video based on the sequence of activation/non-activation inferences and the sequence of associated confidence levels.
