SurgiTrack: Tracking physicians in Operating Rooms

This report presents the development and implementation of a multi-camera multiperson

tracking system in an operating room, capable of tracking several people,

which aims to enable behavioral research of medical staff members during surgery,

in order to improve the understanding of interactions and work processes of doctors

and officials during surgical procedures. To this end, we designed and created

a software pipeline system that combines advanced technologies in the field of

computer vision and tracking, along with innovative algorithms, such as BoT-SORT

and Vision Transformers. The system is designed to accurately track multiple

people at the same time using different synchronous camera videos within the

dynamic and complex environment of an operating room. Through the use of

advanced algorithms and models, our solution enables correct identification and

re-identification of medical staff members, and manages to overcome challenges

unique to the operating room setting, such as the similar outfits of medical staff

and mask usage, which prevent the use of typical facial recognition
