Semantic segmentation of surgical instruments provides essential priors for autonomous surgery. This task is however challenging since the fine-structure of surgical instruments requires the accurate segmentation of detailed regions in images. As the visual guidance for autonomous surgery, the algorithm should also be real-time and friendly to embedded systems. In this paper, a discriminative asym...
