Enhanced YOLOv10 with bidirectional feature fusion and dual attention for precise surgical instrument detection
摘要
Accurate detection of surgical instruments is crucial for precise control in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgeries. Surgical instruments often operate in close proximity to sensitive tissues, necessitating real-time pose information acquisition. In this paper, we present YOLOv10-BFDA, an enhanced detection framework that incorporates bidirectional feature fusion and dual attention mechanisms. The bidirectional feature fusion enables multiscale feature interactions, enhancing the network’s ability to identify targets of varying sizes. The backbone network integrates channel and pixel attention mechanisms to focus on fine-grained critical information. Additionally, an adaptive multi-scale attention module dynamically weights features based on spatial and channel distributions. Experimental results on the M2CAI16-Tool-Locations dataset show that YOLOv10-BFDA achieves 96.5% mAP@0.5 and 62.9% mAP@0.5:0.95, demonstrating improved precision and robustness compared to conventional methods, particularly in multi-object and multi-scale surgical instrument detection tasks.
