Robust SIFT-Based Hierarchical Video Mosaicing for Endomicroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method to perform video mosaicing for endomicroscopy with two major improvements compared to the state of the art. First, instead of using individual images directly, we start by creating sub-mosaics from short video sub-sequences using iconic registration. The sub-mosaics are then considered for feature-based registration. Second, groupwise estimation is performed between all submosaics based on SIFT matching to infer globally consistent spatial transformations. Both improvements increase robustness of the reconstruction compared to a baseline mosaicing method.

A smart atlas for endomicroscopy using automated video retrieval
To support the challenging task of early epithelial cancer diagnosis from in vivo endomicroscopy, we propose a content-based video retrieval method that uses an expert-annotated database. Motivated by the recent successes of non-medical content-based image retrieval, we first adjust the standard Bag-of-Visual-Words method to handle single endomicroscopic images. A local dense multi-scale descri...
متن کاملIntroducing Space and Time in Local Feature-Based Endomicroscopic Image Retrieval
Interpreting endomicroscopic images is still a significant challenge, especially since one single still image may not always contain enough information to make a robust diagnosis. To aid the physicians, we investigated some local feature-based retrieval methods that provide, given a query image, similar annotated images from a database of endomicroscopic images combined with high-level diagnosi...
متن کاملA Viterbi Approach to Topology Inference for Large Scale Endomicroscopy Video Mosaicing
Endomicroscopy allows in vivo and in situ imaging with cellular resolution. One limitation of endomicroscopy is the small field of view which can however be extended using mosaicing techniques. In this paper, we describe a methodological framework aiming to reconstruct a mosaic of endomicroscopic images acquired following a noisy robotized spiral trajectory. First, we infer the topology of the ...
متن کاملImage Mosaicing with Invariant Features Detection using SIFT
There are situations where it is not possible to capture larger views with the given imaging media such as still cameras or video recording machines in a single stretch because of their inherent limitations. So to avoid such conditions a term Image Mosaicing comes into play. This Paper presents a complete system for mosaicing a group of still images with some amount of overlapping between every...
متن کاملMotion-Aware Mosaicing for Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy
Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) provides physicians with real-time access to histological information during standard endoscopy procedures, through high-resolution cellular imaging of internal tissues. Earlier work on mosaicing has enhanced the potential of this imaging modality by meeting the need to get a complete representation of the imaged region. However, with approaches,...
