ABSTRACT
One of the major challenges in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is the limited field of vision (FOV) of the endoscope. We have designed an MIS Panoramic Endoscope (MISPE) to provide doctors with a broad field of view. However, there was an issue in its stability for video stitching. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to improve the MISPE's performance. Experimental results show that our revised MISPE can operate stably and enhance the camera's FOV up to 70%.
