In computer-assisted surgery, split-second accuracy isn’t just a technical metric—it is a patient safety requirement. Minimally invasive procedures like laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) rely increasingly on AI-driven computer vision to identify surgical tools in real time. This case study evaluates how recent iterations of the YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection family balance inference […]

1. Executive Summary We have developed a highly efficient, end-to-end artificial intelligence pipeline that automates Racing Bib Number (RBN) detection and recognition from dynamic, real-world racing environments. By replacing expensive, hardware-heavy RFID chip timing systems and slow, post-event manual photo tagging, our proprietary framework achieves state-of-the-art accuracy with an unprecedented end-to-end inference speed of 23.5 […]
