Abstract
A method for monitoring a colonoscope withdrawal speed, the method including: 1) acquiring, a real-time video of colonoscopy, decoding the video into images, cropping the images, and zooming-out the images cropped where texture information of the images is retained; 2) converting the images including the texture information to grayscale images; 3) obtaining Hash fingerprints of the images; 4) calculating a Hamming distance between the images; 5) comparing the Hash fingerprints of a current colonoscopy image with n previous colonoscopy images, to obtain an overlapping rate of the current colonoscopy image with any one of the n previous colonoscopy images; 6) calculating a weighted similarity of the images at a point in time t; 7) converting a weighted overlapping rate of the images at the point in time t into a stability coefficient; and 8) calculating a mean stability coefficient of colonoscopy images within a period of time 0-t.
