Abstract

This paper presents a new bronchoscope motion tracking method that utilizes manifold modeling and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampler to boost navigated bronchoscopy. Our strategy to estimate the bronchoscope motions comprises two main stages:(1) bronchoscopic scene identification and (2) SMC sampling. We extend a spatial local and global regressive mapping (LGRM) method to Spatial-LGRM to learn bronchoscopic video sequences and construct their manifolds. By these manifolds, we can classify bronchoscopic scenes to bronchial branches where a bronchoscope is located. Next, we employ a SMC sampler based on a selective image similarity measure to integrate estimates of stage (1) to refine positions and orientations of a bronchoscope. Our proposed method was validated on patient datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method for bronchoscopic navigation without an additional position sensor.
