Abstract
Controlling an image capturing process by tracking the positions of the capsule endoscope is described. The images are taken only when there is either new position and/or new orientation change of the capsule endoscope. The method described effectively decreases the total amount of images that a doctor needs to review, and improves the power consumption of the capsule endoscope examination process.
