We present the first empirical study on using colour manipulation and stylization to make surgery images/videos more palatable. While aversion to such material is natural, it limits many people's ability to satisfy their curiosity, educate themselves and make informed decisions. We selected a diverse set of image processing techniques to test them both on surgeons and lay people. While colour manipulation techniques and many artistic methods were found unusable by surgeons, edge‐preserving image smoothing yielded good results both for preserving information (as judged by surgeons) and reducing repulsiveness (as judged by lay people). We then conducted a second set of interview with surgeons to assess whether these methods could also be used on videos and derive good default parameters for information preservation. We provide extensive supplemental material at osf.io/4pfes/.

通过风格化减少对手术图像和视频的情感反应

我们提出了第一个关于使用颜色处理和风格化使手术图像/视频更可口的实证研究。虽然对此类材料的厌恶是自然的，但它限制了许多人满足好奇心、教育自己和做出明智决定的能力。我们选择了一组多样化的图像处理技术，在外科医生和非专业人士身上进行测试。虽然外科医生发现颜色处理技术和许多艺术方法无法使用，但边缘保留图像平滑在保留信息（外科医生判断）和减少排斥（外行人判断）方面都产生了良好的结果。然后，我们与外科医生进行了第二组访谈，以评估这些方法是否也可以用于视频，并为信息保存导出良好的默认参数。
