Airway label prediction in video bronchoscopy: capturing temporal dependencies utilizing anatomical knowledge

ConclusionWe combine CNN-based single image classification of airway segments with anatomical constraints and temporal HMM-based inference for the first time. Our approach shows first promising results in vision-based guidance for bronchoscopy interventions in the absence of electromagnetic tracking and patient-specific CT scans.
