Endoscopy Artefact Detection by Deep Transfer Learning of Baseline Models.

To visualise the tumours inside the body on a screen, a long and thin tube is inserted with a light source and a camera at the tip to obtain video frames inside organs in endoscopy. However, multiple artefacts exist in these video frames that cause difficulty during the diagnosis of cancers. In this research, deep learning was applied to detect eight kinds of artefacts: specularity, bubbles, saturation, contrast, blood, instrument, blur, and imaging artefacts.
