Visual SLAM (VSLAM) has been developing rapidly due to its advantages of low-cost
sensors, the easy fusion of other sensors, and richer environmental information. Traditional …

Modern endoscopy relies on digital technology, from high-resolution imaging sensors and
displays to electronics connecting configurable illumination and actuation systems for …

After decades of development, LIDAR and visual SLAM technology has relatively matured
and been widely used in the military and civil fields. SLAM technology enables the mobile …

As computer vision algorithms increase in capability, their applications in clinical systems
will become more pervasive. These applications include: diagnostics, such as colonoscopy …

We propose a new approach to 3D reconstruction from sequences of images acquired by
monocular endoscopes. It is based on two key insights. First, endoluminal cavities are …

In endoscopy, many applications (eg, surgical navigation) would benefit from a real-time
method that can simultaneously track the endoscope and reconstruct the dense 3D …

This article presents NR-SLAM, a novel nonrigid monocular simultaneous localization and
mapping (SLAM) system founded on the combination of a dynamic deformation graph with a …

In the face of large-scale environmental mapping requirements, through the use of
lightweight and inexpensive robot groups to perceive the environment, the multi-robot …

We introduce ColonSLAM, a system that combines classical multiple-map metric SLAM with
deep features and topological priors to create topological maps of the whole colon. The …

During the past decades, many automated image analysis methods have been developed
for colonoscopy. Real-time implementation of the most promising methods during …
