## Abstract

Video feedback provides a wealth of information about surgical procedures and is the main sensory cue for surgeons. Scene understanding is crucial to computer assisted interventions (CAI) and to post-operative analysis of the surgical procedure. A fundamental building block of such capabilities is the identification and localization of surgical instruments and anatomical structures through semantic segmentation. Deep learning has advanced semantic segmentation techniques in the recent years but is inherently reliant on the availability of labelled datasets for model training. This paper introduces a dataset for semantic segmentation of cataract surgery videos complementing the publicly available CATARACTS challenge dataset. In addition, we benchmark the performance of several state-of-the-art deep learning models for semantic segmentation on the presented dataset. The dataset is publicly available at https://cataracts-semantic-segmentation2020.grand-challenge.org/.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
