Polyps in the colon are widely known cancer precursors identified by colonoscopy. Whilst most polyps are benign, the polyp's number, size and surface structure are linked to the risk of colon cancer. Several methods have been developed to…

Colon cancer is expected to become the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States in 2023. Although colonoscopy is one of the most effective methods for early prevention of colon cancer, up to 30% of polyps may be missed by…

CNN-based object detection models that strike a balance between performance and speed have been gradually used in polyp detection tasks. Nevertheless, accurately locating polyps within complex colonoscopy video scenes remains challenging…

Our formal understanding of the inductive bias that drives the success of convolutional networks on computer vision tasks is limited. In particular, it is unclear what makes hypotheses spaces born from convolution and pooling operations so…

Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) based on histopathological imaging has progressed rapidly in recent years with the rise of machine learning based methodologies. Traditional approaches consist of training a classification model using features…

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Colonoscopy is a widely used technique for colon screening and polyp lesions diagnosis. Nevertheless, manual screening using colonoscopy suffers…

Colonoscopy is a common and practical method for detecting and treating polyps. Segmenting polyps from colonoscopy image is useful for diagnosis and surgery progress. Nevertheless, achieving excellent segmentation performance is still…

Cancer is a disease that occurs as a result of the uncontrolled division and proliferation of cells. Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. Polyps that can be seen in the large intestine can cause cancer if not…

Colorectal cancer is the third most aggressive cancer worldwide. Polyps, as the main biomarker of the disease, are detected, localized, and characterized through colonoscopy procedures. Nonetheless, during the examination, up to 25% of…

Grasp detection in clutter requires the robot to reason about the 3D scene from incomplete and noisy perception. In this work, we draw insight that 3D reconstruction and grasp learning are two intimately connected tasks, both of which…

Automatic analysis of colonoscopy images has been an active field of research motivated by the importance of early detection of precancerous polyps. However, detecting polyps during the live examination can be challenging due to various…

Unlike existing fully-supervised approaches, we rethink colorectal polyp segmentation from an out-of-distribution perspective with a simple but effective self-supervised learning approach. We leverage the ability of masked autoencoders --…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is closely linked to the malignant transformation of colorectal polyps, making early detection essential. However, current models struggle with detecting small lesions, accurately localizing boundaries, and providing…

Background and Objective: Colorectal cancer prevention relies on early detection of polyps during colonoscopy. Existing public datasets, such as CVC-ClinicDB and Kvasir-SEG, provide valuable benchmarks but are limited by small sample sizes,…

Ophthalmic images and derivatives such as the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness map are crucial for detecting and monitoring ophthalmic diseases (e.g., glaucoma). For computer-aided diagnosis of eye diseases, the key technique is…

Dealing with the application of grading colorectal cancer images, this work proposes a 3 step pipeline for prediction of cancer levels from a histopathology image. The overall model performs better compared to other state of the art methods…

Background: Colonoscopy remains the gold-standard screening for colorectal cancer. However, significant miss rates for polyps have been reported, particularly when there are multiple small adenomas. This presents an opportunity to leverage…

Current image quality assessment methods are heavily biased towards global distortions (e.g., noise, blur), neglecting local perceptual artifacts such as ghosting, lens flare, and moire effects. Although significant progress has been made…

Early detection of colorectal polyps is of utmost importance for their treatment and for colorectal cancer prevention. Computer vision techniques have the potential to aid professionals in the diagnosis stage, where colonoscopies are…

The automatic detection of frames containing polyps from a colonoscopy video sequence is an important first step for a fully automated colonoscopy analysis tool. Typically, such detection system is built using a large annotated data set of…
