# EdgeCVS

Models from [**EdgeCVS: Democratization of Surgical AI with a Distilled Edge-Deployable
Critical View of Safety (CVS) Model**](https://papers.miccai.org/miccai-2026/paper/1745_paper.pdf) (MICCAI 2026).

EdgeCVS assesses the three Critical View of Safety criteria in laparoscopic cholecystectomy
from single frames, with a small model distilled from large multi-task teachers that runs in
real time on a CPU.

Code: [github.com/IMSY-DKFZ/edgecvs](https://github.com/IMSY-DKFZ/edgecvs)

## Models

Each model lives in its own folder, named like the code's `exp` option:

| Model (`exp`) | Backbone | Params | Weights | SAGES-CVS 2024 test mAP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [`edgecvs-5m`](edgecvs-5m/) | EdgeNeXt-Small | 5.6M | fp16, 11 MB | 66.4 |

```
config.yaml                         index of the available models
edgecvs-5m/
├── config.yaml                     model configuration used to build the network
└── edgecvs-5m-fold0.safetensors    weights (fold 0, fp16; loaded into an fp32 model)
```

## EdgeCVS-5M

- **Input:** RGB frame, resized to 448×448, ImageNet normalization
- **Output:** probabilities for C1 (two structures), C2 (hepatocystic triangle) and
  C3 (cystic plate); optional 7-class anatomy segmentation (background, cystic plate,
  hepatocystic triangle, cystic artery, cystic duct, gallbladder, tool)
- **Deployment:** the segmentation head is optional; the classifier alone is used for the CSV
  predictions and the speed figures below
