December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Polyps are early indicators of colon cancer, and their effective detection and removal are crucial for treatment decisions.
- Automatic segmentation of polyps from colonoscopy images can reduce human error and save time compared to traditional methods.
- The study proposes a DeepLabv3+ model integrated with ResNet-50 for accurate polyp segmentation, achieving high performance metrics, which could improve colorectal cancer diagnosis and surgical planning.
