Xinran Liu,Hao Chen,Hongbin Liu,Xinran Liu,Hao Chen,Hongbin Liu

This work presents a novel shape evaluation and optimization approach for shape sensing, specifically targeting the constrained, irregular, and intricate spatial shapes of flexible bronchoscopes (FB) in human bronchial tree. The proposed evaluation criteria and optimization methods combine clinical significance related to bronchial anatomical structures and address issues related to singular point...
