Abstract

A reliable, real-time simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) method is crucial for the navigation of actively controlled capsule endoscopy robots. These robots are an emerging, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technology for use in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In this study, we propose a dense, non-rigidly deformable, and real-time map fusion approach for actively controlled endoscopic capsule robot applications. The method combines magnetic and vision based localization, and makes use of frame-to-model fusion and model-to-model loop closure. The performance of the method is demonstrated using an ex-vivo porcine stomach model. Across four trajectories of varying speed and complexity, and across three cameras, the root mean square localization errors range from 0.42 to 1.92 cm, and the root mean square surface reconstruction errors range from 1.23 to 2.39 cm.
