Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying images that contain polyps. An exemplary method for identifying images includes: accessing images of a gastrointestinal tract (GIT) captured by a capsule endoscopy device, where: each image of the images is suspected to include a polyp and is associated with a probability of containing the polyp, and the images include seed images, where each seed image is associated with one or more images of the images. The image(s) associated with each seed image is identified as suspected to include the same polyp as the associated seed image. The method includes applying a polyp detection system on the seed images to identify seed images which include polyps, where the polyp detection system is applied to each seed image of based on the image(s) associated with the seed image and the probabilities associated with the seed image and with the associated image(s).
