An Adaptive 6-DOF Tracking Method by Hybrid Sensing for Ultrasonic Endoscopes

In this paper, a novel hybrid sensing method for tracking an ultrasonic endoscope within the gastrointestinal (GI) track is presented, and the prototype of the tracking system is also developed. We implement 6-DOF localization by sensing integration and information fusion. On the hardware level, a t...
