Video presents image processing/computer vision algorithms for reliable quantitative assessment of cataract surgical skills. Video tracking provides registered, stabilized Stedicam limbus and pupil images. Edge detection, feature extraction, and background suppression identifies surgical instruments and movement. Comparing novice and expert results facilitates resident learning and patient safety.
