Abstract

PURPOSE: The accuracy improvement in endoscopic image classification matters to the endoscopists in diagnosing and choosing suitable treatment for patients. Existing CNN-based methods for endoscopic image classification tend to use the deepest abstract features without considering the contribution of low-level features, while the latter is of great significance in the actual diagnosis of intestinal diseases.
