Open-CAS: validating and benchmarking CAS systems

A most anticipated initiative form the KIT group in Karlsruhe has just debuted last week: a platform to support community-wide benchmarking of computer-assisted surgery systems.

"The validation of accuracy is a very important step towards a thorough evaluation for computer assisted surgery systems. It is especially important for algorithms, modules and systems that are in a research or prototype state. Making these kinds of data freely available would significantly speed up the development for many research groups. Having common data sets does not only allow researchers to spend more time on development and less time on validation, but it also allows to benchmark algorithms against each other.
We are working on updating the data collection constantly.
