Phase identification of endoscopy procedures

A system, comprising:

• an endoscope including an image sensor to capture a plurality of image frames associated with a video of an endoscopy procedure, wherein the endoscopy procedure includes a plurality of phases including a first phase and a second phase;
• a controller coupled to the endoscope to receive the plurality of image frames from the image sensor, wherein the controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the system to perform operations including:
• generating a probability estimate for one or more image frames included in the plurality of image frames, wherein the probability estimate includes a first probability the one or more image frames are associated with the first phase;
• and
• identifying a transition in the video when the endoscopy procedure transitions from the first phase to the second phase based, at least in part, on the probability estimate for the one or more image frames.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of image frames associated with a video of an endoscopy procedure, wherein the endoscopy procedure includes a plurality of phases including a first phase and a second phase;
• generating a probability estimate for one or more image frames included in the plurality of image frames, wherein the probability estimate includes a first probability one or more image frames are associated with the first phase;
• and
• identifying a transition in the video when the endoscopy procedure transitions from the first phase to the second phase based, at least in part, on the probability estimate for the one or more image frames.
