Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Currently, the best performing methods in colonoscopy polyp detection are primarily based on deep neural networks (DNNs), which are usually trained on large amounts of labeled data. However, different hospitals use different endoscope models and set different imaging parameters, which causes the collected endoscopic images and videos to vary greatly in style. There may be variations in the color space, brightness, contrast, and resolution, and there are also differences between white light endoscopy (WLE) and narrow band image endoscopy (NBIE). We call these variations the domain shift. The DNN performance may decrease when the training data and the testing data come from different hospitals or different endoscope models. Additionally, it is quite difficult to collect enough new labeled data and retrain a new DNN model before deploying that DNN to a new hospital or endoscope model.
