Title
Real-time phase boundary detection for colonoscopy videos using motion vector templates
Abstract
Colonoscopy is the preferred screening method currently available for detection of colorectal cancer and its precursor lesions, colorectal polyps. However, recent data suggest that there is a significant miss rate for the detection of polyps in the colon during colonoscopy. Therefore, techniques for real-time quality measurement and feedback are necessary to aid the endoscopist towards optimal inspection to improve the overall quality of colonoscopy during the procedure. A typical colonoscopy procedure consists of two phases: an insertion phase and a withdrawal phase. One of the most essential tasks in real-time fully automated quality measurement is to find the location of the boundary between insertion and withdrawal phases. In this paper, we present a method based on motion vector templates to detect the phase boundary in real-time. The proposed method detects the phase boundary with a better accuracy and a faster speed compared to our previous method.
