Optimized transfer learning for polyp detection

[摘要] Early diagnosis of colorectal cancer focuses on detecting polyps in the colon as early as possible so that patients can have the best chances for success- ful treatment. This research presents the optimized parameters for polyp detection using a deep learning technique. Polyp and non-polyp images are trained on the InceptionResnetV2 model by the Faster Region Con- volutional Neural Networks (Faster R-CNN) framework to identify polyps within the colon images. The proposed method revealed more remarkable results than previous works, precision: 92.9 %, recall: 82.3%, F1-Measure: 87.3%, and F2-Measure: 54.6% on public ETIS-LARIB data set. This detection technique can reduce the chances of missing polyps during a pro- longed clinical inspection and can improve the chances of detecting multiple polyps in colon images.
