Madhura Prakash M., Krishnamurthy G.N. . Multi-Object Detection and Localization of Artefacts in Endoscopy Images. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 33 ( Oct 2022), 28-33. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922422
In this era the Artificial Intelligence (AI) combined with computer vision techniques are seamlessly applied across various domains. The medical image analysis domain is also gaining the advantage of the AI solutions. The medical domain requires real-time analysis of the images and videos being generated for providing automatic assistance to the experts. Artefacts Artefact are image features that do not represent any original scene but occur due to a quirk of the modality itself. The presence of artefacts in Images or video frames poses a challenge for efficient analysis to extract the relevant information. The actual information in the image for understanding the given scene usually lies behind the presence of these artefacts. Examples of artefacts include distortion, blurring, occlusion by other objects and so on. The presence of these in an image must be identified and in the case of video analysis, the frames without the presence of with minimal presence of artefacts must be considered for analysis. Endoscopy is a procedure that involves both diagnosis and therapeutic solutions in various inner regions of human body. Analyzing the image data generated by this procedure using AI based solution can provide an assistance to the medical experts. The work focuses on providing deep-learning based result based on the standard YOLO V3 model for artefact detection and localization on the endoscopy frames has been proposed. The proposed model has achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.76 and an Intersection of Union (IoU) of 0.63 by training the model on the images from the widely available Endoscopy Artefact Detection (EAD) dataset.
