TL;DR: Comparison of lightweight 2D, 2.5D and 3D detectors for localizing needles in ultrasound videos
Abstract: We investigate video-based deep learning approaches for detecting needle insertions in ultrasound videos. We introduce two efficient and conceptually simple extensions to convert standard 2D object detectors into video object detectors that make use of temporal information from a history of frames. We compare our approaches to a 2D baseline method that makes independent predictions per frame. Given the need to run in real-time on computationally restricted environments, emphasis is placed on low computational complexity.
