Image processing techniques for feature extraction and diagnosis in video-colonscopy

Advances in clinical medical imaging have brought about the routine production of vast numbers of medical images that need to be analysed. As a result, an enormous amount of computer vision research effort has been targeted at achieving automatic analysis of medical images. The study in this thesis...
