Abstract
The gastrointestinal polyp (GIP) is the abnormal growth of tissues in digestive organs. Identifying these polyps from endoscopy video or image is a tremendous task to reduce the future risk of gastrointestinal cancer. This paper proposes a proper diagnosis method of polyp using a fusion of contourlet transform and fine-tuned VGG19 pre-trained model from enhanced endoscopic 224 × 224 patch images. This study has used different fine-tuned models (Alexnet, ResNet50, VGG16, VGG19) as well as a few scratch models while fine-tuned VGG19 works better. Also, this research has used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (MRMR) dimensionality reduction methods to collect the intuitive features for classification. In Support Vector Machine (SVM) based polyp detection, the prior method (PCA) performs better. Besides, a proposed algorithm marks polyp region from identified polyp patches and uses a binning strategy to process video. A set of experiments are performed on standard public data sets and found comparative improved performance with an accuracy of 99.59%, sensitivity of 99.74% and specificity of 99.44%. This work can be instrumental for the radiologist for diagnosis of polyps during real-time endoscopy.
