AI4PolypNet

As part of AI4PolypNet, we are involved in a challenge that will be developed at iSMIT (September 2024). In this edition we will focus only on colonoscopy images and, apart from classical polyp detection and segmentation we present an extended version of polyp classification, including the challenging serrated sessile adenoma class. All the information is available here.

About this repository

This repository collects the most relevant studies applying Deep Learning for Polyp Detection and Classification in Colonoscopy from a technical point of view, focusing on the low-level details for the implementation of the DL models. In first place, each study is categorized in three types: (i) polyp detection and localization (through bounding boxes or binary masks, i.e. segmentation), (ii) polyp classification, and (iii) simultaneous polyp detection and classification (i.e. studies based on the usage of a single model such as YOLO or SSD to performs simultaneous polyp detection and classification). Secondly, a summary of the public datasets available as well as the private datasets used in the studies is provided. The third section focuses on technical aspects such as the Deep Learning architectures, the data augmentation techniques and the libraries and frameworks used. Finally, the fourth section summarizes the performance metrics reported by each study.

Suggestions are welcome, please check the contribution guidelines before submitting a pull request.

  1. Tian X. et al. 2019 work is based on the usage of a single model (RetinaNet) that performs simultaneous polyp detection and classification. However, the paper only reports detection results using the ETIS-Larib dataset and therefore this results are included in the Polyp Detection and Localization section.
  2. Ozawa. et al. 2020 work is based on the usage of a single model (Single Show MultiBox Detector, SSD) that performs simultaneous polyp detection and classification. Nevertheless, since the detection and classification results are reported independently, they are included in the sections Polyp Detection and Localization and Polyp Classification, respectively.
  3. Li K. et al. 2021 work is based on the usage of several single models that perform simultaneous polyp detection ad classification. As they report different types of results (frame-based polyp localization, polyp-based classification, and simultaneous frame-based polyp detection and classification), they are included in the three results sections.

Custom Architectures

Study Task Based on Highlights
Tajbakhsh et al. 2014, Tajbakhsh et al. 2015 Localization None Combination of classic computer vision techniques (detection and location) with DL (correction of prediction).
The ML method proposes candidate polyps. Then, three sets of multi-scale patches around the candidate are generated (color, shape and temporal). Each set of patches is fed to a corresponding CNN.
Each CNN has 2 convolutional layers, 2 fully connected layers, and an output layer.
The maximum score for each set of patches is computed and averaged.
Zhu R. et al. 2015 Localization LeNet-5 CNN fed with 32x32 images taken from patches generated via a sliding window of 16 pixels over the original images.
The LeNet-5 network inspires the CNN architecture. ReLU used as activation function.
Last two layers replaced with a cost-sensitive SVM.
Positively selected patches are combined to generate the final output.
Park and Sargent 2016 Localization None Based on a previous work with no DL techniques.
An initial quality assessment and preprocessing step filters and cleans images, and proposes candidate regions of interest (RoI).
CNN replaces previous feature extractor. Three convolutional layers with two interspersed subsampling layers followed by a fully connected layer.
A final step uses a Conditional Random Field (CRF) for RoI classification.
Yu et al. 2017 Localization None Two 3D-FCN are used:
- An offline network trained with a training dataset.
- An online network initialized with the offline weights and updated each 60 frames with the video frames. Only the last two layers are updated.

The last 16 frames are used for predicting each frame.
Two convolutional layers followed by a pooling layer each, followed by two groups of two convolutional layers followed by a pooling layer each and finished with two convolutional layers converted from fully connected layers.
The output of each network is combined to generate the final output.
Yuan and Meng 2017 Detection Stacked Sparse AutoEncoder (SSAE) A modification of a Sparse AutoEncoder to include an image manifold constraint, named Stacked Sparse AutoEncoder with Image Manifold Constraint (SSAEIM).
SSAEIM is built by stacking three SAEIM layers followed by an output layer. Image manifold information is used on each layer.
Byrne et al. 2017 Classification Inception v3 Last layer replaced with a fully connected layer.
A credibility score is calculated for each frame with the current frame prediction and the credibility score of the previous frame.
Komeda et al. 2017 Classification None Two convolutional layers followed by a pooling layer each, followed by a final fully connected output layer.
Brandao et al. 2018, Ahmad et al. 2019 Localization AlexNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, ResNet-152, VGG Networks pre-trained with PASCAL VOC and ImageNet datasets where converted into fully-connected convolutional networks by replacing the fully connected and scoring layers with a convolution layer. A final deconvolution layer with an output with the same size as the input.
A regularization operation is added between every convolutional and activation layer.
VGG, ResNet-101 and ResNet-152 were tested also using shape-form-shading features.
Zhang R. et al. 2018 Localization YOLO Custom architecture RYCO that consist of two networks:
1. A regression-based deep learning with residual learning (ResYOLO) detection model to locate polyp in a frame.
2. A Discriminative Correlation Filter (DCF) based method called Efficient Convolution Operators (ECO) to track the detected polyps.

The ResYOLO network detects new polyps in a frame, starting the polyp tracking.
During tracking, both ResYOLO and ECO tracker are used to determine the polyp location.
Tracking stops when a confidence score calculated using last frames is under a threshold value.
Urban et al. 2018 Detection None Two custom CNNs a proposed. First CNN is built just with convolutional, maximum pooling and fully connected layers. Second CNN also includes batch normalization layers and inception modules.
Urban et al. 2018 Localization YOLO The 5 CNNs used for detection (two custom, VGG16, VGG19 and ResNet-50) are modified by replacing the fully connected layers with convolutional layers.
The last layer has 5 filter maps that have its outputs spaced over a grid over the input image. Each grid cell predicts its confidence with a sigmoid unit, the position of the polyp relative to the grid cell center, and its size. The final output is the weighted sum of all the adjusted positions and size predictions, weighted with the confidences.
Mohammed et al. 2018 Detection Y-Net The frame-work consists of two fully convolution encoder networks which are connected to a single decoder network that matches the encoder network resolution at each down-sampling operation. The network are trained with encoder specific adaptive learning rates that update the parameters of randomly initialized encoder network with a larger step size as compared to the encoder with pre-trained weights. The two encoders features are merged with a decoder network at each down-sampling paththrough sum-skip connection.
Lui et al. 2019 Classification ResNet Network with 5 convolutional layers and 2 fully connected layers but based on a pre-trained ResNet CNN backbone.
Qadir et al. 2019 Localization None Framework for false positive (FP) reduction is proposed.
The framework adds a FP reduction unit to an RPN network. This unit exploits temporal dependencies between frames (forward and backward) to correct the output.
Faster R-CNN and SSD RPNs were tested.
Blanes-Vidal et al. 2019 Localization R-CNN with AlexNet Several modifications done to AlexNet:
- Last fully connected layer replaced to output two classes.
- 5 convolutional and 3 fully connected layers were fine-tuned.
- Max-Pooling kernels, ReLU activation function and dropout used to avoid overfitting and build robustness to intra-class deformations.
- Stochastic gradient descent with momentum used as the optimization algorithm.
Zhang X. et al. 2019 Localization SSD SSD was modified to add three new pooling layers (Second-Max Pooling, Second-Min Pooling and Min-Pooling) and a new deconvolution layer whose features are concatenated to those from the Max-Pooling layer that are fed into the detection layer.
Model was pre-trained on the ILSVRC CLS-LOC dataset.
Kandel et al. 2019 Classification CapsNet A convolutional layer followed by 7 convolutional capsule layers and finalized with a global average pool by capsule type.
Sornapudi et al. 2019 Localization Mask R-CNN The region proposal network (RPN) uses a Feature Pyramid Network with a ResNet backbone. ResNet-50 and ResNet-101 were used, improved by extracting features from 5 different levels of layers. ResNet networks were initialized with COCO and ImageNet. Additionally, 76 random balloon images from Flickr were used to fine-tune networks initialized with COCO.
The regions proposed by the RPN were filtered before the ROIAlign layer.
The ROIAlign layer is followed by a pixel probability mask network, comprised of 4 convolutional layers followed by a transposed convolutional layer and a final convolutional layer with a sigmoid activation function that generates the final output. All convolutional layers except final are built with ReLU activation function.
Tashk et al. 2019 Localization U-Net The U-Net architecture was modified to use as input any image or video formats associated with optical colonoscopy modalities.
Patino-Barrientos et al. 2020 Classification None The model is composed by four convolutional layers, each one of them followed by a max pooling layer. After that, the model has a dropout layer to reduce overfitting and then add a final dense layer with sigmoid activation that outputs the probability of the current polyp being malignant. The model was trained using the RMSprop optimizer with a learning rate of 1×10−4.
Jia X. et al. 2020 Localization ResNet-50, Feature Pyramid Network, and Faster R-CNN Authors propose a two-stage framework, where the polyp proposal stage (stage I) is constructed as a region-level polyp detector that is capable of guiding the pixel-level learning in the polyp segmentation stage (stage II), aiming to accurately segment the area the polyp occupies in the image. This framework has a backbone network composed by a ResNet-50 followed by a Feature Pyramid Network, producing a set of feature maps that are used by the two-stage framework. The polyp proposal stage was created as as an extension of faster R-CNN, which performs as a region-level polyp detector to recognize the lesion area as a whole. Then, the polyp segmentation stage is built in a fully convolutional fashion for pixelwise segmentation. This two-stage framework has a feature sharing strategy in which the learned semantics of polyp proposals of stage I are transferred to the segmentation task of stage II.
Qadir et al. 2021 Localization Resnet34 and MDeNet Authors propose a modified version of MDeNet, proposed them in Qadir et al. 2019. See section 2.3. F-CNN models for polyp detection of Qadir et al. 2021 for more details.
Xu J. et al. 2021 Localization YOLOv3 Authors present a framework based on YOLOv3 to improve detection. This frameworks adds: (i) a False Positive Relearning Module (FPRM) to make the detector network learning more about the features of FPs for higher precision; (ii) an Image Style Transfer Module (ISTM) to enhance the features of polyps for higher sensitivity; (iii) an Inter-Frame Similarity Correlation unit (ISCU) to integrate spatiotemporal information, which is combined with the image detector network to improve performance in video detection in order to reduce FPs.
Pacal et al. 2021 Localization YOLOv4 Authors propose several models based on YOLOv4. To create their "Proposed Model1 (Small)" they first replaced the whole structure with Cross Stage Partial Networks (CSPNet), then substitute the Mish activation function for the Leaky ReLu activation function and also substituted the Distance Intersection over Union (DIoU) loss for the Complete Intersection over Union (CIoU) loss.
Liu et al. 2021 Localization Resnet101 and Domain adaptive Faster R-CNN Authors propose a consolidated domain adaptive framework with a training free style transfer process, a hierarchical network, and a centre besiegement loss for accurate cross-domain polyp detection and localization.
Pacal et al. 2022 Localization YOLOv3, YOLOv4 Authors propose modified versions of YOLOv3 and YOLOv4 by integrating Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNet). With the aim of improving the detection performance, they also use the Sigmoid-weighted Linear Unit (SiLU) activation function and the Complete Intersection over Union (CIoU) loss functions.

Performance

Note: Some performance metrics are not directly reported in the papers, but were derived using raw data or confusion matrices provided by them.

Polyp Detection and Localization

Performance metrics on public and private datasets of all polyp detection and localization studies.

  • Between parentheses it is specified the type of performance metric: i = image-based, bb = bounding-box-based, p = polyp-based, pa = patch, and pi = pixel-based.
  • Between curly brackets it is specified the training dataset, where "P" stands for private.
  • Between square brackets it is specified the test dataset used for computing the performance metric, where "P" stands for private.
  • For instance, [{P}] means that development and test splits of the same private dataset have been used for training and testing respectively.
  • Performances marked with an * are reported on training datasets (e.g. k-fold cross-validation).
  • AP stands for Average Precision.

Note: Since february 2022, the former frame-based (f) type was split into image-based and bounding-box-based, which accurately reflects the type of evaluation done. Please, note that our review paper uses frame-based and includes both.

Polyp Classification

Performance metrics on public and private datasets of all polyp classification studies.

  • Between curly brackets it is specified the training dataset, where "P" stands for private.
  • Between square brackets it is specified the test dataset used for computing the performance metric, where "P" stands for private.
  • For instance, [{P}] means that development and test splits of the same private dataset have been used for training and testing respectively.
  • Performances marked with an * are reported on training datasets (e.g. k-fold cross-validation).
