Epitomized summarization of wireless capsule endoscopic videos for efficient visualization.

A video recording of an examination by Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) may typically contain more than 55,000 video frames, which makes the manual visual screening by an experienced gastroenterologist a highly time-consuming task. In this paper, we propose a novel method of epitomized summarization of WCE videos for efficient visualization to a gastroenterologist. For each short sequence of a WCE video, an epitomized frame is generated.
