Abstract: In wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE), a swallow-able miniature optical endoscope is used to transmit color images of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the number of images transmitted is large, taking a significant amount of the medical expert’s time to review the scan. In this research, we propose a technique to automate the abnormality detection in WCE images. We split the image into several patches and extract features pertaining to each block using a Convolutional neural network (CNN) to increase their generality while overcoming the drawbacks of manually crafted features. We intend to exploit the importance of color information for the task. Experiments are performed to determine the optimal color space components for feature extraction and classifier design. We obtained an area under receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve of approximately 0.8 on a dataset containing multiple abnormalities.
