Several computational systems have been proposed to assist polyp detection during colonoscopy but so far without consistent evaluation. The lackof publicly available annotated databases has made it difficult to compare methods and to assess if they achieve performance levels acceptable for clinical use. The Automatic Polyp Detection subchallenge, conducted as part of the Endoscopic Vision Challenge (http://endovis.grand-challenge.org) at the international conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer AssistedIntervention (MICCAI) in 2015, was an effort to address this need. In this paper, we report the results of this comparative evaluation of polyp detection methods, as well as describe additional experiments to further explore differences between methods. We define performance metrics and provide evaluation databases that allow comparison of multiple methodologies. Results show that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the state of the art. Nevertheless it is also demonstrated that combining different methodologies can lead to an improved overall performance.", optnote="MV; 600.096; 600.075", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2949), last updated on Thu, 16 Feb 2023 11:58:52 +0100", doi="10.1109/TMI.2017.2664042", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/BTS2017.pdf:PDF" }
