Different with classical surgical skill assessment algorithms, the proposed method 1) utilizes the kinematic features in surgical instrument relative movements, instead of using specific surgical tasks or the statistics to assess skills in real-time; 2) provide informative feedback, instead of a summative scores; 3) has the ability to incrementally learn from new data, instead of depending on a fixed dataset.
