However, it has not been extendedto surgical gauzes. Gauzes can provide valuable information to numerous tasks in the operatingroom, but the lack of an annotated dataset has hampered its research. In this article, we presenta segmentation dataset with 4003 hand-labelled frames from laparoscopic video. To prove thedataset potential, we analyzed several baselines: detection using YOLOv3, coarse segmentation, andsegmentation with a U-Net. Our results show that YOLOv3 can be executed in real time but providesa modest recall. Coarse segmentation presents satisfactory results but lacks inference speed. Finally,the U-Net baseline achieves a good speed-quality compromise running above 30 FPS while obtainingan IoU of 0.85. The accuracy reached by U-Net and its execution speed demonstrate that preciseand real-time gauze segmentation can be achieved, training convolutional neural networks on theproposed dataset.
