Composite Endoscope Images from Massive Inner Intestine Photos

This paper presented an image reconstruction method for a capsule endoscope. The proposed method constructs a 3-D model of the intestine using massive images obtained from the capsule endoscope. It merges all images and yields a complete 3-D model of the intestine. This 3-D model is reformed as a 2-D plane image showing the inner side of the entire intestine. The proposed image composition has been evaluated using the OpenGL 3-D simulator. The composite image provides an easy-to-understand view for examining the intestine. In addition, it provides fast track-and-check diagnosis using the 3-D model implementation.
