Abstract

In order to solve the problem for identifying the tip position of fiber scopes under the endoscopic surgery, we propose an image association system. The proposed system is realized by combining complex-valued associative memories with a 2-dimensional discrete Fourier transform, and it is capable of rotation-invariant image association. Simulation results using surface images observed through endoscope are also presented.
