A localization method for wireless capsule endoscopy using side wall cameras and IMU sensor

Abstract Localizing the endoscopy capsule inside gastrointestinal (GI) system provides key information which leads to GI abnormality tracking and precision medical delivery. In this paper, we have proposed a new method to localize the capsule inside human GI track. We propose to equip the capsule wi...

In this paper, we have proposed a new method to localize the capsule inside human GI track.
