Colorectal cancer is a major global health concern and a target focus for research in robotics to find and develop newer and more efficient ways to diagnose and treat the cancer at early stages. Wireless video capsule endoscopy was introduced in the year 2000 and remains a low-invasive but passive way to diagnose polyp formation and location.
This research dives into the design of an optimized hall-effect sensor array board for pose (position and orientation) estimation of the video capsule in magnetically actuated wireless video capsule endoscopy, by using the hardware limitations of the sensors and the geometry of magnetic fields.
