Context-specific selection of algorithms for recursive feature tracking in endoscopic image using a new methodology

In minimally invasive surgery, the tracking of deformable tissue is a critical component for image-guided applications. Deformation of the tissue can be recovered by tracking features using tissue surface information (texture, color,...). Recent work in this field has shown success in acquiring tissue motion. However the performance evaluation of detection and tracking algorithms on such images are still difficult and are not standardized. This is mainly due to the lack of ground truth data on real data.
