Abnormal Image Detection in Endoscopy Videos Using a Filter Bank and Local Binary Patterns.

Finding mucosal abnormalities (e.g., erythema, blood, ulcer, erosion, and polyp) is one of the most essential tasks during endoscopy video review.

SAPPHIRE: a toolkit for building efficient stream programs for medical video analysis.

This paper describes the design and implementation of SAPPHIRE--a novel middleware and software development kit for stream programing on a heterogeneous system of multi-core multi-CPUs with optional hardware accelerators such as graphics processing unit (GPU). A stream program consists of a set of tasks where the same tasks are repeated over multiple iterations of data (e.g.
