Abstract

In this paper we propose a novel method in detecting colorectal polyps on colonoscopic images. Texture features are applied in polyps and normal tissues training and classification. Support vector machine is used as a classifier to identify the position of polyps. Seventy-four colonoscopic images are collected to test the system. Half of them are used as training images and half are used as testing. The experimental result shows the system can identify all polyps if the colonoscopic images contain single polyp. The sensitivity is 86.2% and the false-positive rate is 1.26 mark per-image.
