Real-Time Tracking of Guidewire Robot Tips Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks on Successive Localized Frames

Studies are proceeded to stabilize cardiac surgery using thin micro-guidewires and catheter robots. To control the robot to a desired position and pose, it is necessary to accurately track the robot tip in real time but tracking and accurately delineating the thin and small tip is challenging. To ad...
