Smart Videocapsule for Early Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer: Toward Embedded Image Analysis

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) enables screening of the gastrointestinal tract by a swallowable imaging system. However, contemporary WCE systems have several limitations—battery, low processing capabilities, among others—which often result in low diagnostic yield. In this chapter, after a technic...

Summary:Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) enables screening of the gastrointestinal tract by a swallowable imaging system. However, contemporary WCE systems have several limitations—battery, low processing capabilities, among others—which often result in low diagnostic yield. In this chapter, after a technical presentation of the components of a standard WCE, the authors discuss the related limitations and introduce a new concept of smart capsule with embedded image processing capabilities based on a boosting approach using textural features. We discuss the feasibility of the hardware integration of the detection–recognition method, also with respect to the most recent FPGA technologies.
