Panoramic Endoscopy of the Stomach and Colon

Within the context of the project, components for a real-time cartography of the gastro-intestinal surfaces of stomach and colon shall be developed, examined and evaluated.
The goal is that the physician will receive a panoramic image of the cavities directly during the endoscopic examination and can then use these images for the documentation of the procedure.
Furthermore, in the panoramic images visible lesions can be interactively augmented and the panoramic images can be transferred to other physicians.
