Towards Real-Time Autonomous Navigation: Transformer-Based Catheter Tip Tracking in Fluoroscopy

This paper presents a robust real-time catheter tip tracking system for autonomous navigation in fluoroscopy.

Key Points

• Developed a multi-threaded tracking pipeline for catheter tips.
• Achieved 4.44 mm mean absolute error with SegFormer model.
• Outperformed state-of-the-art benchmarks in segmentation accuracy.
