Appendix I: DATASET

The Dataset is named CholecTrack20. It is a surgical video dataset focusing on laparoscopic cholecystectomy and designed for surgical tool tracking, featuring 20 annotated videos. The dataset includes detailed labels for multi-class multi-tool tracking, offering multi-perspective trajectories for tool visibility within the camera scope, intracorporeal movement within the patient's body, and the life-long intraoperative trajectory of each tool. Annotations cover spatial coordinates, tool class, operator identity, phase, visual conditions (occlusion, bleeding, smoke), and more for tools like grasper, bipolar, hook, scissors, clipper, irrigator, and specimen bag, with annotations provided at 1 frame per second across 35K frames and 65K instance tool labels. The dataset uses official splits, allocating 10 videos for training, 2 for validation, and 8 for testing.

Appendix II: CITATION

We would like to remind you that this dataset could only be generated thanks to the continuous support from the researchers, interns, surgeons from our partner hospital. In order to properly credit them for their efforts, you are kindly requested to cite the paper that led to the generation of this dataset:
