Abstract
A system and methods for detecting polyps using optical images acquired during a colonoscopy. In some aspects, a method includes receiving the set of optical images from the input and generating polyp candidates by analyzing the received set of optical images. The method also includes generating a plurality of image patches around locations associated with each polyp candidate, applying a set of convolutional neural networks to the corresponding image patches, and computing probabilities indicative of a maximum response for each convolutional neural network. The method further includes identifying polyps using the computed probabilities for each polyp candidate, and generating a report indicating identified polyps.
