A capsule endoscope is getting attention for observing a small intestine which is hard to examine. The
capsule swallowed by a patient moves in the peristaltic movement and takes images by an embedded camera. As the direction of the camera frequently changes, a surveyor sometimes cannot recognize which direction the camera looks toward. This paper describes an image display method by displaying the center position of shrinkage in the small intestine in the middle of the screen for its viewablity. Using low brightness area, edge elements and rugae of the small intestine as feature quantities, we classify the condition of the small intestine and estimate the center position of its shrinkage. |
