Abstract
A method for an automated detection of swallowed capsules on X-ray scanner images, the method including (a) based on a first image of a person, generating additional images by performing transformations of the first image; (b) calculating a position of a stomach area in the first image and on the additional images; (c) identifying rotationally invariant periodic features in windows of the stomach area; (d) calculating aggregate features for the windows based on the rotationally invariant periodic features; and (e) informing a user that the first image contains the swallowed capsules if a dissimilarity function for the aggregate features for the first image, relative to images that do not contain swallowed capsules, is larger than a predefined threshold. Optionally, the method includes segmenting the stomach area prior to identifying rotationally invariant periodic features.
