The purpose of this study is to estimate the forceps pressure applied to an organ based on a single-viewpoint camera image. Using forceps with a three-axis pressure sensor, the forceps pressure and camera images during the pushing operation to ex-vivo organs were acquired. Synchronized dataset of forceps pressures and time-series camera images were created for multiple operations, and deep-learning was applied to confirm the estimation error of forceps pressure
