3D reconstruction for video capsule endoscopy

MSc assignment

This thesis is part of the video capsule endoscopy (VCE) project of RaM, and will focus on 3D reconstruction of the intestines.

The magnetic actuation of the capsule results in a tumbling locomotion pattern. The video results can leave clinicians disoriented due to this motion; thus, video analysis in 2D is challenging. By providing the clinician with a graphical user interface (GUI) in which both the camera view and 3D reconstruction are shown in real-time, they can steer the capsule to traverse the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and thoroughly investigate abnormalities along the way.
