Abstract

A magnetic localization and orientation is designed to track the movement of capsule endoscope during the gastrointestinal examination process. In this paper, based on the magnetic localization and orientation linear algorithm we proposed, magnetic localization and orientation software is designed. The software is composed by some modules, such as data acquisition, algorithm, calibration, and so on. The software acquires sensors data via an A/D card, after algorithm operation output 3D and 2D tracking graphic. Test and experiment show that the software is efficient and the whole system is of good stability.
