• Abstract: Survival rates for colorectal cancer are higher when polyps are detected at an early stage and can be removed before they develop into malignant tumors. Automated polyp detection, which is dominated by deep learning based methods, seeks to improve early detection of polyps. However, current efforts rely heavily on the size and quality of the training datasets. The quality of these datasets often suffers from various image artifacts that affect the visibility and hence, the detection rate. In this work, we conducted a systematic analysis to gain a better understanding of how artifacts affect automated polyp detection. We look at how six different artifact classes, and their location in an image, affect the performance of a RetinaNet based polyp detection model. We found that, depending on the artifact class, they can either benefit or harm the polyp detector. For instance, bubbles are often misclassified as polyps, while specular reflections inside of a polyp region can improve detection capabilities. We then investigated different strategies, such as a learning without forgetting framework, to leverage artifact knowledge to improve automated polyp detection. Our results show that such models can mitigate some of the harmful effects of artifacts, but require more work to significantly improve polyp detection capabilities.

CAD systems to detect polyps can improve detection accuracy and efficiency and save the time of the domain experts called endoscopists. We propose the PolypConnect pipeline, which can convert non-polyp images into polyp images to increase the size of training datasets for training.

  The diagnosis process of colorectal cancer mainly focuses on the localization and characterization of abnormal growths in the colon tissue known as polyps. Despite recent advances in deep object localization, the localization of polyps remains challenging due to the similarities between tissues, and the high level of artifacts. Recent studies have shown the negative impact of the presence of artifacts in the polyp detection task, and have started to take them into account within the training process.
