Abstract (EN): Endoscopic capsules are vitamin-sized devices that create 8 to 10 hour videos of the digestive tract. They are the leading diagnosing method for the small bowel, a region not easily accessible with traditional endoscopy techniques. However, these capsules do not provide localization information, even though it is crucial for the diagnosis, follow-ups and surgical interventions. Currently, the capsule localization is either estimated based on scarce gastrointestinal tract landmarks or given by additional hardware that causes discomfort to the patient and represents a cost increase. Current software methods show great potential, but still need to improve in order to overcome their limitations. In this work, a visual odometry method for capsule localization inside the small bowel is proposed.
