Abstract
Today 95% of all gastrointestinal carcinomas are believed to arise from adenomas. The early detection of adenomas could prevent their evolution to cancer. A novel system for the support of the detection of adenomas in gastrointestinal video endoscopy is presented. Unlike other systems, it accepts standard low-resolution video input thus requiring less computational resources and facilitating both portability and the potential to be used in telemedicine applications. It combines intelligent processing techniques of SVMs and color–texture analysis methodologies into a sound pattern recognition framework. Concerning the system's accuracy this was measured using ROC analysis and found to exceed 94%.
