Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 5Effect of Interpolation on Specular Reflections in Texture-Based Automatic Colonic Polyp Detection(Wiley, 2020-06-26) Kacmaz, Rukiye Nur; Yilmaz, Bulent; Aydin, ZaferReflections of LED light cause unwanted noise effects called specular reflection (SR) on colonoscopic images. The aim of this study was to seek answers to the following two questions. (a) How are the texture features used in automatic detection of polyps affected by the interpolation on specular reflections? (b) If they are affected does it really affect the classification performance? In order to answer these questions, we used 610 colonoscopy images, and divided each image into tiles whose sizes were 32-by-32 pixels. From these tiles, we selected the ones without any specular reflection. We added different shape and size specular reflections cropped from real images onto the reflection-free tiles. We then used the nearest neighbors, bilinear and bicubic interpolation techniques on the tiles on which SRs were added. On these tiles we extracted 116 texture features using 3 second-order approaches, and 4 first-order statistics. First, we used paired samplettest. Second, we performed automatic classification of polyps and background using random forest and k nearest neighbors (k-NN) approaches using the texture features for different combinations of specular reflections added on the tiles from the polyp or background. The results showed that depending on the size of specular reflection, interpolation can cause a significant difference between the texture features that were coming from reflection-free tiles and the same tiles on which interpolation was performed. In addition, we note that bicubic interpolation may be preferred to eliminate specular reflection when texture features are used for background and polyp discrimination.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3A Comprehensive Study on Automatic Non-Informative Frame Detection in Colonoscopy Videos(Wiley, 2024-01) Kacmaz, Rukiye Nur; Dogan, Refika Sultan; Yilmaz, BuelentDespite today's developing healthcare technology, conventional colonoscopy is still a gold-standard method to detect colon abnormalities. Due to the folded structure of the intestine and visual disturbances caused by artifacts, it can be hard for specialists to detect abnormalities during the procedure. Frames that include artifacts such as specular reflection, improper contrast levels from insufficient or excessive illumination gastric juice, bubbles, or residuals should be detected to increase an accurate diagnosis rate. In this work, both conventional machine learning and transfer learning methods have been used to detect non-informative frames in colonoscopy videos. The conventional machine learning part consists of 5 different types of texture features, which are gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), gray level run length matrix (GLRLM), neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM), focus measure operators (FMOs), and first-order statistics. In addition to these methods, we utilized 8 different transfer learning models: AlexNet, SqueezeNet, GoogleNet, ShuffleNet, ResNet50, ResNet18, NasNetMobile, and MobileNet. The results showed that FMOs and decision tree combination gave the best accuracy and f-measure values with almost 89% and 0.79%, respectively, for the conventional machine learning part. When the transfer learning part is taken into account, AlexNet (99.85%) and SqueezeNet (98.80%) have the highest performance metric results. This study shows the potential of both transfer learning and conventional machine learning algorithms to provide fast and accurate non-informative frame detection to be used during a colonoscopy, which may be considered the initial step in identifying and classifying colon-related diseases automatically to help guide physicians.
