We propose a topological mapping and localization system able to operate on real human colonoscopies, despite significant shape and illumination changes. The map is a graph where each node codes a colon location by a set of real images, while edges represent traversability between nodes. For close-i…
Deformable Monocular SLAM algorithms recover the localization of a camera in an unknown deformable environment. Current approaches use a template-based deformable tracking to recover the camera pose and the deformation of the map. These template-based methods use an underlying global deformation mod
Estimating a scene reconstruction and the camera motion from in-body videos is challenging due to several factors, e.g. the deformation of in-body cavities or the lack of texture. In this paper we present Endo-Depth-and-Motion, a pipeline that estimates the 6-degrees-of-freedom camera pose and dense
Nowadays real time visual Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) algorithms exist and rely on consistent measurements across multiple views. In indoor environments, where majority of robot's activity takes place, severe occlusions can occur, e.g., when turning around a corner or moving from on…
