Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Colonoscopy is a useful method for the diagnosis and management of colorectal diseases. Many computer-aided systems have been developed to assist clinicians in detecting colorectal lesions by analyzing colonoscopy images. However, fisheye-lens distortion and light reflection in colonoscopy images can substantially affect the clarity of these images and their utility in detecting polyps. This study proposed a two-stage deep-learning model to correct distortion and reflections in colonoscopy images and thus facilitate polyp detection.
