Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Robotics
Computer Vision

Background:

Physicians face challenges with self-localization during flexible gastroscopy.
Existing camera tracking methods, like Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), struggle with low-texture gastroscope images compared to laparoscopes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel monocular SLAM framework for accurate endoscope tracking in gastroscopy.
To address the limitations of texture-poor images in gastroscope tracking.

Main Methods:

Implemented a SLAM framework utilizing Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) features.
Employed narrow-band imaging (NBI) for enhanced feature extraction from gastroscopic images.
Utilized a response sorting strategy for feature retention to improve matching.

Main Results:

Achieved a minimum root mean squared error of 2.074 mm.
Improved pose accuracy by up to 25.73% compared to ORB-SLAM.
Demonstrated successful application on real clinical gastroscopic data.

Conclusions:

The proposed SIFT and NBI-based SLAM framework offers superior feature matching and localization accuracy in gastroscopy.
The algorithm shows significant potential for clinical application to assist physicians in gastroscope localization.
