Abstract
A system and method may detect a transition in an image stream captured within a body lumen. One or more parameters may be computed at points corresponding to a time scale of the image stream. Transition in the values of the parameters may be identified and may indicate a location along the body lumen. The image stream may be segmented at the transition points identified.
Claims27
A method for detecting a transition in an image stream captured within a body lumen, the method comprising:
- computing values of a structure related parameter at points corresponding to a time scale of the image stream;
- and
- identifying a transition in the values of at least the structure related parameter.
A method for detecting a transition in an image stream captured within a body lumen, the method comprising:
- computing values of at least one parameter at points corresponding to a time scale of the image stream;
- identifying a transition in the values of the at least one parameter;
- and
- determining a confidence level of the transition.
A system to detect a transition in an image stream captured within the body lumen comprising:
- an in vivo device to capture the image stream from within the body lumen;
- a parameter computing unit to detect values of at least a structure related parameter at points corresponding to a time scale of the image stream;
- and
- a transition detecting unit to identify a transition in the values of the parameter.
