چکیده

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) enables screening of the gastrointestinal tract by a swallowable imaging system. However, contemporary WCE systems have several limitations, which often result in low diagnostic yield. This paper introduces the concept of a next generation WCE system with embedded intelligence aiming to effectively minimize diagnostic errors. The proposed system is based on a novel wirelesslypowered hardware-software architecture integrating reconfigurable components that are optimized in terms of areatime complexity and power consumption. It integrates multispectral and 3D vision modules, and embedded intelligence for video quality control, accurate localization of the capsule and automatic detection of a broad spectrum of abnormalities. The feasibility of the proposed WCE system is qualitatively assessed with respect to the results obtained, and novel research directions

System Level Approach towards Intelligent Healthcare Environment

Surgical procedures conducted without proper guidance and dynamic feedback mechanism could lead to unintended consequences. In-vivo diagnostics and imaging (the Gastro-Intestinal tract) has shown to be inconvenient for the patients using traditional endoscopic instruments and often these conventional methods are limited in terms of their access to various organs (e.g. small intestines). Embeddi...

A Novel Comprehensive Taxonomy of Intelligent-Based Routing Protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks

Routing in ad-hoc networks, specifically intelligent-based ones, is a highly interested research topic in recent years. Most of them are simulation-based study. Large percentages have not even mentioned some of the fundamental parameters. This strictly reduces their validity and reliability. On the other hand, there is not a comprehensive framework to classify routing algorithms in wireless sen...

Intelligent Systems for the Diagnosis of Wireless-capsule Endoscopic Images

Intelligent computerised systems can provide useful assistance to the physician in the rapid identification of tissue abnormalities and accurate diagnosis in real-time. The endoscopic images possess rich information expressed by texture. In this paper schemes have been developed to extract texture features from the texture spectra in the chromatic and achromatic domains for a selected region of...

Fractional order robust adaptive intelligent controller design for fractional-order chaotic systems with unknown input delay, uncertainty and external disturbances

In this paper, a fractional-order robust adaptive intelligent controller (FRAIC) is designed for a class of chaotic fractional order systems with uncertainty, external disturbances and unknown time-varying input time delay. The time delay is considered both constant and time varying. Due to changes in the equilibrium point, adaptive control is used to update the system's momentary information a...
