Abstract

Early diagnosis is of great significance for the treatment of GI diseases. Endoscopic tissue biopsy of the GI tract is the standard means to diagnose whether the tumor will become cancerous or to confirm the stage of lesions. Confocal endoscopy, which can provide cell-level resolution and realize non-invasive real-time optical biopsy, has attracted much attention in the field of clinical disease diagnosis. However, because of the small field of vision, it is difficult to locate the probe again, which affects the efficiency and learning cost of confocal endoscopy. Based on the honeycomb shape of the original image of the confocal endoscope, the scale of the image pixel corresponding to the real world is obtained through the parameters of the endoscopy probe and the fiber bundle that make up the probe. Yolov3 is used as a crypt recognition algorithm, which assists the optical flow algorithm to predict the pixel displacement of crypt. Finally, the distance and angle of the endoscope lens motion are obtained through the scale. The moving angle and distance of the endoscope can help locate the probe position of the endoscope lens and record the probe path of the endoscope lens. After the exploration is completed, the original exploration path can also be restored by distance and angle information, which helps to accurately locate the lesion again. The Yolov3 Recognition Network was trained with 200 confocal endoscope images of rat colon. The \(\rm{map}_{0.5}\) was 99.84%. Compared with many other optical flow methods, the DISflow optical flow algorithm is finally selected. After testing, the angle error of the algorithm is less than 4°, the distance error is less than 8%. This work can restore the exploration path of confocal endoscopy and improve the diagnostic efficiency of confocal endoscopy.
