Colorectal cancer has a 47% fatality rate, with early diagnosis crucial for improving survival, yet only 40% are detected early.
-
2
Monocular depth estimation is vital for endoscopic 3D reconstruction, aiding in polyp detection and navigation despite visibility challenges.

The proposed SHADeS model improves depth estimation by jointly estimating depth, albedo, shading, and specular reflections, outperforming existing methods.
-
4
SHADeS effectively decouples albedo from specular reflections, reducing artefacts that hinder accurate depth estimation in endoscopic images.

5
The model can also generate specularity segmentation masks and inpaint images, enhancing the quality of endoscopic visualizations.
