contents Permanent magnet tracking using the external sensor array is crucial for the accurate localization of wireless capsule endoscope robots. Traditional tracking algorithms, based on the magnetic dipole model and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm, face challenges related to computational delays and the need for initial position estimation. More recently proposed neural network-based approaches often require extensive hardware calibration and real-world data collection, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive. To address these challenges, we propose MobilePosenet, a lightweight neural network architecture that leverages depthwise separable convolutions to minimize computational cost and a channel attention mechanism to enhance localization accuracy. Besides, the inputs to the network integrate the sensors' coordinate information and random noise, compensating for the discrepancies between the theoretical model and the actual magnetic fields and thus allowing MobilePosenet to be trained entirely on theoretical data. Experimental evaluations conducted in a \(90 \times 90 \times 80\) mm workspace demonstrate that MobilePosenet exhibits excellent 5-DOF localization accuracy ($1.54 \pm 1.03$ mm and $2.24 \pm 1.84^{\circ}$) and inference speed (0.9 ms) against state-of-the-art methods trained on real-world data. Since network training relies solely on theoretical data, MobilePosenet can eliminate the hardware calibration and real-world data collection process, improving the generalizability of this permanent magnet localization method and the potential for rapid adoption in different clinical settings.
