arXiv:2606. 17340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate vision-based navigation in monocular endoscopy is difficult due to limited depth cues, weak tissue texture, non-rigid deformation, and substantial appearance variation across domains, all of which complicate pose estimation, depth prediction, and image-to-anatomy alignment.

EndoFSA is a GAN-based model designed for endoscopic few-shot image generation, addressing the scarcity of pathological samples in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) data. It adapts a generator pretrained on abundant normal images to abnormal domains by updating only a small set of rank-constrained modulation parameters while keeping the rest of the weights frozen, thereby preserving anatomical priors and preventing mode collapse. The method incorporates perceptual boundary regularization and cluster-wise diversity control, operates without pixel-level annotations, and demonstrates that synthetic abnormal images can match real images in downstream classification performance.

CEM‑TUDASR is a lightweight, unsupervised Transformer‑based super‑resolution framework designed for Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) images. It uses a domain‑adaptive degradation network to synthesize realistic low‑resolution WCE images from high‑resolution conventional endoscopy data, enabling unpaired training. The SR generator incorporates Deep Attention Blocks and a Fusion Attention Block to preserve both global context and fine local structures, achieving superior no‑reference quality metrics and improved restoration of mucosal textures, vascular patterns, and anatomical details while remaining computationally efficient.

CEM‑TUDASR is a lightweight, unsupervised Transformer-based super‑resolution framework designed to enhance low‑resolution images from Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE). It uses a domain‑adaptive degradation network to generate realistic WCE‑like low‑resolution images from high‑resolution conventional endoscopy data, enabling effective unpaired learning. The model incorporates Deep Attention Blocks and a Fusion Attention Block to capture both global context and fine local details, achieving superior performance on WCE datasets and demonstrating cross‑domain adaptability to retinal images, all while keeping the parameter count and computational load low.
