CATARACTS: Challenge on Automatic Tool Annotation for cataRACT Surgery

Video recording is a unique solution to collect information about a surgery. Combined with computer vision and machine learning, it allows a wide range of applications, including automatic report generation, surgical skill evaluation and training, surgical workflow optimization, as well as warning and recommendation generation. Key indicators of what the surgeon is doing at any given time are the surgical tools that he or she is using. Therefore, several tool detection techniques have been presented in recent years (Bouget et  al., 2017).
