Over the last decade, wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) technology has become a very useful tool for diagnosing diseases within the human digestive tract. Physicians using WCE can examine the digestive tract in a minimally invasive way searching for pathological abnormalities such as bleeding, polyps, ulcers, and Crohn's disease. To improve effectiveness of WCE, researchers have developed software methods to automatically detect these diseases at a high rate of success. This paper proposes a novel synergistic methodology for automatically discovering polyps (protrusions) and perforated ulcers in WCE video frames. Finally, results of the methodology are given and statistical comparisons are also presented relevant to other works.
在过去的十年中，无线胶囊内镜 (WCE) 技术已成为诊断人体消化道疾病的非常有用的工具。使用 WCE 的医生可以以微创的方式检查消化道，寻找出血、息肉、溃疡和克罗恩病等病理异常。为了提高 WCE 的有效性，研究人员已经开发了软件方法，以高成功率自动检测这些疾病。本文提出了一种新颖的协同方法，用于自动发现 WCE 视频帧中的息肉（突起）和穿孔性溃疡。最后，给出了该方法的结果，并与其他工作进行了相关的统计比较。
