Abstract

Capsule endoscopy can take tens of thousands of pictures at one examination, and it is impossible for physicians to diagnose such huge number of pictures. Thus, studies of computer-assisted diagnosis of capsule endoscopic images have been conducted. Computer-assisted diagnosis includes detection of lesion areas. Besides lesion areas, capsule endoscopic images contain areas of residue, intestinal juice, and bubbles, which can be an obstacle to diagnosis of the intestinal wall. To improve the performance of diagnosis, we propose a method of removing bubbles in capsule endoscopic images. Experimental results show that the proposed method works well.
