The promising results demonstrate that our method can effectively extract global representations as well as local features in the segmentation of surgical instruments and improve the accuracy of segmentation. With the proposed novel backbone, the network can segment the contours of surgical instruments' end tips more precisely. This method can provide more accurate data for localization and pose estimation of surgical instruments, and make a further contribution to the automation of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery.
