碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 電機工程學研究所 === 92 === So far general electronical stomach endoscope examination often make patients feel unwell and fearful, and wireless capsule endoscope can''t observe single region of stomach repeatedly to examinate stomach clearly like electronical endoscope. In order to solve the problems of those endoscopes discussed above, this paper presents a new beter endoscope examination system named Megnetic-Levitated Capsule Endoscope Control System and related experiments. The purpose of this paper to develop a confortable, convenient, and effective endoscope examination method. Megnetic-levitated capsule endoscope control system applies magnetic-levitated control theories and technologies. It performs capsule endoscope movement and position control by using magnetic force; moreover, it transmits the images captured by capsule''s inner image capturing device to the monitor. The system also utilizes man-machine interface control technologies. It make doctors not only be able to operate capsule endoscope easily and well with man-machine interface devices like joystick, monitor, and monitoring software fram, but also perform endoscope examination clearly and effectively. In this paper, to begin with, we will introduce megnetic-levitated control theories and methods concerned with the system and also discuss image capture and processing researches and technologies. Then, we will explan how to apply the theories and technologies of magnetic-levitated control and image to the system. The construction, design concept, and hardware scheme of system will be described. Finally, we will illustrate the experiment system and equipment, and also analyze the results of experiment to verify the theories presented in this paper. Further, the performance and usability of whole system will be estimated, and the future research direction about megnetic-levitated capsule endoscope will be discussed.
