The Effect of Endoscopic Lens Distortion Correction on Physicians' Diagnosis Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In endoscopic images, significant barrel-type distortions are introduced in case of deploying wide-angle lenses. In this work, the effect of lens distortion correction on the human experts’ classification performance is investigated. Especially, the discrimination between healthy patients and patients suffering from celiac disease is examined. Furthermore, the classification results of human experts are compared with those achieved with state-of-the-art computer aided decision support systems. This paper considers a twoas well as a four-classes case. Finally we come to the conclusion, that distortion correction does not improve the human experts’ classification performance.

Correcting the Chromatic Aberration in Barrel Distortion of Endoscopic Images
Modern endoscopes offer physicians a wide-angle field of view (FOV) for minimally invasive therapies. However, the high level of barrel distortion may prevent accurate perception of image. Fortunately, this kind of distortion may be corrected by digital image processing. In this paper we investigate the chromatic aberrations in the barrel distortion of endoscopic images. In the past, chromatic ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of perspective distortion of wide-angle lenses in laparoscopes on hand-eye coordination during endoscopic manipulation. METHODS Sixteen subjects repeatedly performed a standardized positioning task in a pelvi-trainer under two conditions. The subjects had no prior experience with endoscopic manipulation. In one condition, a wide-angle lens with considerable pers...
متن کاملEvaluation of different distortion correction methods and interpolation techniques for an automated classification of celiac disease☆
Due to the optics used in endoscopes, a typical degradation observed in endoscopic images are barrel-type distortions. In this work we investigate the impact of methods used to correct such distortions in images on the classification accuracy in the context of automated celiac disease classification. For this purpose we compare various different distortion correction methods and apply them to e...
متن کاملIs a Precise Distortion Estimation Needed for Computer Aided Celiac Disease Diagnosis?
In computer aided celiac disease diagnosis, endoscopes with wide-angle lenses are deployed which induce significant lens distortions. This work investigates an approach to automatize the estimation of the lens distortion, without a previous camera calibration. Knowing the discriminative power of all sensible distortion configurations, the model parameters are estimated. As the achieved paramete...
