A stacking-based artificial intelligence framework for an effective detection and localization of colon polyps

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Polyp detection through colonoscopy is a widely used method to prevent colorectal cancer. The automation of this process aided by artificial intelligence allows faster and improved detection of polyps that can be missed during a standard colonoscopy. In this work, we propose implementing different object detection algorithms for polyp detection. To improve the mean average precision (mAP) of the detection, we combine the baseline models through a stacking approach. The experiments demonstrate the potential of this new methodology, which can reduce the workload for oncologists and increase the precision of the localization of polyps. Our proposal achieves an mAP of 0.86, translated into an improvement of 34.9% compared to the best baseline model and 28.8% with respect to the weighted boxes fusion ensemble technique.
