A Unified Framework for Multi-Guidewire Endpoint Localization in Fluoroscopy Images

Objective: In this paper, Keypoint Localization Region-based CNN (KL R-CNN) is proposed, which can simultaneously accomplish the guidewire detection and endpoint localization in a unified model. Methods: KL R-CNN modifies Mask R-CNN by replacing the mask branch with a novel keypoint localization branch. Besides, some settings of Mask R-CNN are also modified to generate the keypoint l...
