Conference Object Detection of Variation Instances on Colonoscopy Videos using Structural Similarity Index(IEEE, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2018) Kacmaz, Rukiye Nur; Yilmaz, BulentThe aim of this study is to reduce the number of images extracted from the videos recorded by the specialists during the colonoscopy process for further examination, thereby enabling the specialist to deal with fewer images. Since the images obtained from the videos are very similar, the main assumption of this study is that the whole video can be represented by fewer images. The approach used in this study is the structural similarity index. Totally, images were obtained from 4 different videos coming from healthy, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, and polyp patients. The noisy images in these videos were eliminated manually. When the structural similarity index between two consecutive clear images was less than 0.83, the second image was selected and shown to the specialist for his/her examination. By this way, the frames carrying significantly new information from the videos were defined as the variation instances. The tests on healthy or diseased colon videos showed that only 5-10% of the clear images provide significantly new information.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 30Super Resolution Convolutional Neural Network Based Pre-Processing for Automatic Polyp Detection in Colonoscopy Images(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-03) Tas, Merve; Yilmaz, BulentColonoscopy is the most common methodology used to detect polyps on the colon surface. Increasing the image resolution has the potential to improve the automatic colonoscopy based diagnosis and polyp detection and localization. In this study, we proposed a pre-processing approach that uses convolutional neural network based super resolution method (SRCNN) to increase the resolution of the training colonoscopy images before the localization of polyps. We also investigated the use of CNN based models such as the Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD) and Faster Regional CNN (RCNN) for real-time polyp detection and localization. Our results showed that using SRCNN method before the training process provides better results in terms of accuracy in both models compared to the low-resolution cases. Furthermore, we reached an F2 score of 0.945 for the correct localization of colon polyps using Faster RCNN with ResNet-101 feature extractor.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Polyp Localization in Colonoscopy Images Using Vessel Density(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-11) Doǧan, Refika Sultan; Yilmaz, BulentIn this paper, we present a new approach for polyp localization in colonoscopy images. This approach is based on the determination of the polyp location using the vessel density in colon images. Primarily, we used pre-processing procedures on the colon images, and then blood vessel extraction techniques were employed. Later, segmentation of the vessel boundaries was performed. With the help of vessel boundaries we calculated the vessel density, and used this for the localization of the polyps. We tested the success of this approach using a publicly available image set (CVC-ClinicDB database). This database consisted of 612 images from 29 different polyps. This approach succeeds in correct detection of 24 out of 29 different polyps. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 1Motion Artifact Detection in Colonoscopy Images(Sciendo, 2018-07-01) Kacmaz, Rukiye Nur; Yilmaz, Bulent; Dundar, Mehmet Sait; Dogan, SerkanComputer-aided detection is an integral part of medical image evaluation process because examination of each image takes a long time and generally experts' do not have enough time for the elimination of images with motion artifact (blurred images). Computer-aided detection is required for both increasing accuracy rate and saving experts' time. Large intestine does not have straight structure thus camera of the colonoscopy should be moved continuously to examine inside of the large intestine and this movement causes motion artifact on colonoscopy images. In this study, images were selected from open-source colonoscopy videos and obtained at Kayseri Training and Research Hospital. Totally 100 images were analyzed half of which were clear. Firstly, a modified version of histogram equalization was applied in the pre-processing step to all images in our dataset, and then, used Laplacian, wavelet transform (WT), and discrete cosine transform-based (DCT) approaches to extract features for the discrimination of images with no artifact (clear) and images with motion artifact. The Laplacian-based feature extraction method was used for the first time in the literature on colonoscopy images. The comparison between Laplacian-based features and previously used methods such as WT and DCT has been performed. In the classification phase of our study, support vector machines (SVM), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and k nearest neighbors (k-NN) were used as the classifiers. The results showed that Laplacian-based features were more successful in the detection of images with motion artifact when compared to popular methods used in the literature. As a result, a combination of features extracted using already existing approaches (WT and DCT) and the Laplacian-based methods reached 85% accuracy levels with SVM classification approach.Conference Object Kolonoskopi Görüntülerinde Bilineer İnterpolasyonun Tekstör Analizine Etkisi(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-10) Kacmaz, Rukiye Nur; Yilmaz, BulentInterpolation is a method that is used to obtain unknown intensities with the help of known intensities on an image. This method is frequently used in the literature to eliminate light reflection on colonoscopy images. Texture features are the most important characteristics used to describe the region or objects of interest in the image. They are the measures of intensity variation of a surface that determine properties such as smoothness, roughness, and regularity. The aim of this study is to find out the how bilinear interpolation applied on colonoscopy images with reflection impact texture features obtained from the same images. A research carried out to make reasonable comparison between a texture feature from an image with no reflection and the same feature obtained from the same image with synthetically added reflections with various percentages. Using the approaches like gray level co-occurence matrix (GLCM), gray level run length matrix (GLRLM), neighborhood gray tone difference matrix (NGTDM) 126 features were extracted from each 32×32 sub-images coming from 610 colonoscopy images. Several of the features extracted from sub-images with no reflection and reflection were not statistically significantly different, while majority of them were affected from the reflections. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Yapısal Benzerlik İndeksini Kullanarak Kolonoskopi Videolarında Değişim Anlarının Belirlenmesi(IEEE, 2018-11) Kacmaz, Rukiye Nur; Yilmaz, BulentThe aim of this study is to reduce the number of images extracted from the videos recorded by the specialists during the colonoscopy process for further examination, thereby enabling the specialist to deal with fewer images.

Ulcers and open scars on the colon are observed. The complaint in the flare period is the frequent bloody diarrhea. Complaints of people with UC increase and decrease periodically. Colonoscopy is the most preferred approach for the visualization of the gastrointestinal tract for the diagnosis and follow-up of related diseases, and UC in particular. The lack of experience of the colonoscopist, complicated locality of the lesion, and the rush in the colonoscopy suite to complete the procedure as soon as possible may cause mistakes in visual analysis. In this study, 200 colonoscopy images (100 normal, 100 UC) were used. The statistical features such as gray level variance, gray level local variance, normalized variance, histogram range, and entropy were extracted from the images, and a normalized 200x5 feature matrix was formed. The normal images and images with UC were discriminated using support vector machines and k-nearest neighbors. It should be noted that the extraction of only 5 features from the colonoscopy images resulted in 95% accuracy. This study demonstrated the feasibility of the development of software tools for aiding the physicians in the diagnosis of colon diseases. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
