An integrated vision system with autofocus for wireless capsular endoscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A prototype of a vision system for capsular endoscopy provided with autofocus function was developed. It is composed by two main parts: a wireless capsule with an adjustable focus in the range between 15 mm and 100 mm, and a personal computer where the autofocus algorithm is implemented. Several benches and ex vivo tests were performed in order to validate the developed system and encouraging results were obtained. Further miniaturization will be pursued to obtain a swallowable device adequate for capsular endoscopy procedures. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
