Desmoking Laparoscopy Surgery Images Using an Image-to-Image Translation Guided by an Embedded Dark Channel

In this paper, a method to remove the smoke effects in laparoscopic images is presented. The proposed method is based on an image-to-image conditional generative adversarial network endowed with a dark channel's embedded guide mask. The obtained experimental results were evaluated and quantitat...
