FloVMos enables real-time stitching of medical videos for wider views

FloVMos: Optical Flow-based Medical Video Mosaicking

Abstract: Biomedical imaging modalities often require a trade-off among resolution, field of view (FOV), and acquisition speed. Video mosaicking offers a strategy to overcome this limitation by computationally stitching sequential high-resolution frames into a wide-FOV composite. However, existing methods struggle with non-rigid deformations, and modality-specific artifacts arising in clinical and research imaging. Here, we present FloVMos, a generalizable, optical-flow-based deep learning framework for real-time video mosaicking across diverse biomedical imaging modalities. FloVMos achieves robust, pixel-level registration by fine-tuning an optical flow model on synthetic training data with ground-truth deformation fields. We introduce a pipeline for generating this training data, simulating realistic tissue motion and imaging distortions from existing mosaics or raw videos. Our automated synthetic data generation and optical flow model training based on this data allow users to adapt FloVMos to different imaging modalities. To demonstrate this, we applied FloVMos to seven diverse imaging modalities: reflection confocal microscopy, open-top light-sheet microscopy, fetoscopy, laparoscopy, dermoscopy, sparse spectral microscopy, and endoscopy. FloVMos outperforms conventional baselines in accuracy, robustness, and speed for all the tested modalities. This adaptable and training-efficient framework enables large-area visualization with real-time performance and may support broader use of video-based biomedical imaging in research and clinical workflows.

The gist
High-resolution medical imaging often shows only a small area at a time, which limits what doctors and researchers can see. The authors created FloVMos, a computer program that stitches together video frames to make a larger, clearer picture in real time. They trained FloVMos using fake data that mimics real tissue movements and image distortions, helping it work well across many types of medical imaging. This makes it easier to view larger areas quickly and accurately during medical exams or procedures.
