The best way for researchers to test their algorithms and design concepts, before experimenting on real human beings, is to create simulation environment platforms. In this paper, a virtual simulator for active endoscopic capsules is proposed. The simulator intends to provide researchers with an environment to test their vision and navigation algorithms applied to endoscopic capsule applications....
Motivated by the need to regulate and regularly inspect construction sites, we developed a real-time robust drone system that performs site inspection and violation detection in construction sites. The proposed system uses the drone to inspect and monitor numerous types of construction sites remotely from any control station or a nearby locations. Our drone system was developed as an entry to participate...
Standard endoscopy is a screening method that allows the detection of GI tract pathologies and lesions. However, it was demonstrated that endoscopy suffers from a significant miss rate for cancer detection. Therefore, there is a need to establish a standard protocol that can quantify the quality of endoscopic procedures, assist physicians in analyzing their performance and train them on how to select...
In this paper, a vision-based haptic feedback system has been proposed with the aim to assist the movement of an endoscopic device during capsule endoscopy (CE) procedures. We present a general system architecture consisting of three modules responsible for vision, haptic guidance and control of movements. The vision module generates 3D local maps as well as local navigation trajectory for endoluminal...
Capsule endoscopy is a non-invasive procedure for gastrointestinal diagnosis. It does not require sedation and it is comfortable and well tolerated by patient. However, the problem with such procedure is that a huge number of images is collected, which require time to investigate and diagnose; furthermore, the capsule movement is not controlled leading, in some cases, to inaccurate diagnosis. In this...
