Efficient domain adaptation through neural style transfer enhances endoscopic visual odometry training speed and accuracy.
Abstract
Efficient domain adaptation is crucial for endoscopic visual odometry due to the scarcity of realistic images with ground truth poses. Existing methods suffer from inefficiencies in training time, prompting the need for a faster approach. This work proposes a neural style transfer framework that compresses the training time to less than five minutes by focusing on limited real images and utilizing pre-operative prior information. The novel Test Time Adaptation (TTA) method bridges the gap in lighting conditions between training and testing datasets, showcasing state-of-the-art accuracy in visual odometry tasks with fast training speeds.
