摘要

To reduce the considerable risk of infection associated with traditional open surgery, robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is employed. However, during the robot-assisted surgery, smoke is produced, which lowers image visibility; removing smoke from images is comes under image dehazing. Several image dehazing methods based on different architectures have been created to enhance damaged images. We presented an attention-based Y-Net (AY-Net) to help in the surgery by dehazing smoked laparoscopic surgical images. The AY-Net architecture consists of an encoder, bottleneck, decoder, and mixed decoder, with skip connections between the encoder, decoder, and mixed decoder. The encoder contains encoder layers, and the decoder contains decoder layers, both of which have CNN block sublayers and the mixed decoder has a mixed layer has its sublayers. The proposed Attention Y-Net performed well, on Outdoor, Dense-Haze, and DeSmoke-LAP dataset when compared to other current approaches for image dehazing, both quantitatively and visually.
