Deep learning-based approach for high spatial resolution fibre shape
These findings are the preliminary steps toward a low-cost yet accurate fiber shape sensing solution for detecting complex multi-bend deformations.
Fiber optic shape sensing uses embedded sensors to measure the full 3D shape of a flexible surgical device along its entire length in real time. By sensing the device itself from the inside, it provides continuous awareness of how the device bends, twists, and turns as it moves. Fiber optic shape sensing has an outstanding capability to sense curvature and shape in 2D and 3D. The technology will enable cutting-edge applications in the fields of robotic and standard minimally invasive surgery – such as real-time position tracking, instrument and catheter navigation, force. In this work, we propose a novel, computationally efficient method for determining the 3D tip position of a bent multi-co...
