This paper presents a novel approach to depth estimation in robotic surgery, building upon the foundation model DINOv2. The authors design a low-rank adaptation (LoRA) of DINOv2 for surgical depth estimation, which they refer to as Surgical-DINO. This method incorporates LoRA layers and integrates them into DINO to adapt to domain-specific knowledge in endoscopic surgery. By freezing the DINO image encoder and only optimizing the LoRA layers and depth decoder, the authors demonstrate that their model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art models on a MICCAI challenge dataset of SCARED, collected from da Vinci Xi endoscope surgery.

In simple terms, this paper is about using artificial intelligence to help robots perform surgeries more accurately. The researchers took a powerful AI model and adapted it for use in surgical environments. They tested their approach and found that it worked much better than other methods on a dataset of real surgery recordings. This could lead to improved accuracy and safety in robotic surgeries.
