This is the companion repository for our paper titled "Accurate and interpretable evaluation of surgical skills from kinematic data using fully convolutional neural networks" published in the International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery - Special Issue of MICCAI 2018, also available on ArXiv.

Architecture

Data

You will need the JIGSAWS dataset to re-run the experiments of the paper.

Requirements

You will need to install the following packages present in the requirements.txt file.

Running the code

Classification

You will first need to run the following: python3 classification.py.

Then compile the results by running the following: python3 classification.py results.

Finally, to visualize the class activation map, you will need to run the following: python3 classification.py cas.

Here is an example of the class activation map for the classification task.
