Computer-aided tumor detection in endoscopic video using color wavelet features.

Computer-aided tumor detection in endoscopic video using color wavelet features.

We present an approach to the detection of tumors in colonoscopic video. It is based on a new color feature extraction scheme to represent the different regions in the frame sequence. This scheme is built on the wavelet decomposition. The features named as color wavelet covariance (CWC) are based on...
