pCLE Probe-Tissue Orientation (pCLE-PTO) dataset

The pCLE data were collected using the Cellvizio system (Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris), by scanning lens paper and ex-vivo cow heart tissue. The samples were stained with 0.1% Acriflavin. The Smarpod microsurgical robot (SmarAct, Germany) was used to control the miniprobe. Smarpod robot rotation to collect pCLE data within a range of -10 degree to 10 degree relative to the normal of the object’s surface, taking steps of 0.5 degree. 

Our data collection yielded a total of 255 lens paper videos and 32 cow heart videos, each associated with specific probe-tissue orientations. We used 239 lens paper videos (9389 frames) for training, while 26 lens paper videos (1066 frames) and 32 cow heart videos (1312 frames) were allocated for testing.
