Abstract
Automating flexible endoscope navigation could lead to an increase in patient safety for endoluminal therapeutic procedures. Additionally, it may decrease the costs of diagnostic flexible endoscope procedures by shortening the learning curve and increasing the efficiency of insertion. Earlier attempts at automating the navigation have, to our knowledge, not succeeded yet. We think this is mainly due to false premises about the dynamic interaction between the endoscope and the environment. In the current research, we show that an alternative approach can be used to establish camera motion with respect to the environment. Combining the knowledge of the traveled path with the knowledge of the target location shows potential of solving the navigational problems in automating flexible endoscopy.
