      Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been an active field of research motivated by the large number of highly lethal GI cancers. Early GI cancer precursors are often missed during the endoscopic surveillance. The high missed rate of such abnormalities during endoscopy is thus a critical bottleneck. Lack of attentiveness due to tiring procedures, and requirement of training are few contributing factors. ...
    • Deep learning and hand-crafted feature based approaches for polyp detection in medical videos 

      Pogorelov, Konstantin; Ostroukhova, Olga; Jeppsson, Mattis; Espeland, Håvard; Griwodz, Carsten; de Lange, Thomas; Riegler, Michael; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-23)
      Video analysis including classification, segmentation or tagging is one of the most challenging but also interesting topics multimedia research currently try to tackle. This is often related to videos from surveillance cameras or social media. In the last years, also medical institutions produce more and more video and image content. Some areas of medical image analysis, like radiology or brain ...
    • Dissecting deep neural networks for better medical image classification and classification understanding 

      Hicks, Steven Alexander; Riegler, Michael; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Ånonsen, Kim Vidar; de Lange, Thomas; Johansen, Dag; Jeppsson, Mattis; Randel, Kristin Ranheim; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-23)
      Neural networks, in the context of deep learning, show much promise in becoming an important tool with the purpose assisting medical doctors in disease detection during patient examinations. However, the current state of deep learning is something of a "black box", making it very difficult to understand what internal processes lead to a given result. This is not only true for non-technical users but ...
    • Efficient disease detection in gastrointestinal videos – global features versus neural networks 

      Pogorelov, Konstantin; Riegler, Michael; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; de Lange, Thomas; Johansen, Dag; Griwodz, Carsten; Schmidt, Peter Thelin; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-19)
      Analysis of medical videos from the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract for detection and localization of abnormalities like lesions and diseases requires both high precision and recall. Additionally, it is important to support efficient, real-time processing for live feedback during (i) standard colonoscopies and (ii) scalability for massive population-based screening, which we conjecture can be done ...
    • Efficient live and on-demand tiled HEVC 360 VR video streaming 

      Jeppsson, Mattis; Espeland, Håvard; Kupka, Tomas; Langseth, Ragnar; Petlund, Andreas; Peng, Qiaoqiao; Xue, Chuansong; Johansen, Dag; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Stensland, Håkon Kvale; Griwodz, Carsten; Riegler, Michael; Halvorsen, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      360∘ panorama video displayed through Virtual Reality (VR) glasses or large screens offers immersive user experiences, but as such technology becomes commonplace, the need for efficient streaming methods of such high-bitrate videos arises. In this respect, the attention that 360∘ panorama video has received lately is huge. Many methods have already been proposed, and in this paper, we shed more light ...
    • HyperKvasir, a comprehensive multi-class image and video dataset for gastrointestinal endoscopy 

      Borgli, Hanna; Thambawita, Vajira; Smedsrud, Pia H; Hicks, Steven; Jha, Debesh; Eskeland, Sigrun Losada; Randel, Kristin Ranheim; Pogorelov, Konstantin; Lux, Mathias; Dang Nguyen, Duc Tien; Johansen, Dag; Griwodz, Carsten; Stensland, Håkon Kvale; Garcia-Ceja, Enrique; Schmidt, Peter T; Hammer, Hugo Lewi; Riegler, Michael; Halvorsen, Pål; de Lange, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-28)
      Artificial intelligence is currently a hot topic in medicine. However, medical data is often sparse and hard to obtain due to legal restrictions and lack of medical personnel for the cumbersome and tedious process to manually label training data. These constraints make it difficult to develop systems for automatic analysis, like detecting disease or other lesions. In this respect, this article ...
