3D Stable Spatio-Temporal Polyp Localization in Colonoscopy Videos

چکیده
Computational intelligent systems could reduce polyp miss rate in colonoscopy for colon cancer diagnosis and, thus, increase the efficiency of the procedure. One of the main problems of existing polyp localization methods is a lack of spatio-temporal stability in their response. We propose to explore the response of a given polyp localization across temporal windows in order to select those image regions presenting the highest stable spatio-temporal response. Spatio-temporal stability is achieved by extracting 3D watershed regions on the temporal window. Stability in localization response is statistically determined by analysis of the variance of the output of the localization method inside each 3D region. We have explored the benefits of considering spatio-temporal stability in two different tasks: polyp localization and polyp detection. Experimental results indicate an average improvement of 21.5% in polyp localization and 43.78% in polyp detection.

Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...
متن کاملCrowdsourcing for Identification of Polyp-Free Segments in Virtual Colonoscopy Videos
Virtual colonoscopy (VC) allows a user to virtually navigate within a reconstructed 3D colon model searching for colorectal polyps. Though VC is widely recognized as a highly sensitive and specific test for identifying polyps, one limitation is the reading time, which can take on average 30 minutes per patient. Large amounts of the colon are often devoid of polyps, and a way of identifying thes...

In this paper we propose a system for human action tracking and recognition using a robust particle filter-based visual tracker and a novel descriptor, to represent spatio-temporal interest points, based on an effective combination of a new 3D gradient descriptor with an optic flow descriptor. These points are used to represent video sequences using a bag of spatio-temporal visual words, follow...

In this paper we present a novel polyp region segmentation method for colonoscopy videos. Our method uses valley information associated to polyp boundaries in order to provide an initial segmentation. This first segmentation is refined to eliminate boundary discontinuities caused by image artifacts or other elements of the scene. Experimental results over a publicly annotated database show that...
