Gastroscopic Panoramic View: Application to Automatic Polyps Detection under Gastroscopy

Abstract

Endoscopic diagnosis is an important means for gastric polyp detection. In this paper, a panoramic image of gastroscopy is developed, which can display the inner surface of the stomach intuitively and comprehensively. Moreover, the proposed automatic detection solution can help doctors locate the polyps automatically, and reduce missed diagnosis. The main contributions of this paper are: firstly, a gastroscopic panorama reconstruction method is developed. The reconstruction does not require additional hardware devices, and can solve the problem of texture dislocation and illumination imbalance properly; secondly, an end-to-end multi-object detection for gastroscopic panorama is trained based on deep learning framework. Compared with traditional solutions, the automatic polyp detection system can locate all polyps in the inner wall of stomach in real time and assist doctors to find the lesions. Thirdly, the system was evaluated in the Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University. The results show that the average error of the panorama is less than 2 mm, the accuracy of the polyp detection is 95%, and the recall rate is 99%. In addition, the research roadmap of this paper has guiding significance for endoscopy-assisted detection of other human soft cavities.

Hyperspectral Image Restoration and Super-resolution with Physics-Aware Deep Learning for Biomedical Applications

Hyperspectral imaging is a powerful bioimaging tool which can uncover novel insights, thanks to its sensitivity to the intrinsic properties of materials. However, this enhanced contrast comes at the cost of system complexity, constrained by an inherent trade-off between spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution. To overcome this limitation, we present a self-supervised deep learning-based approach that restores and enhances pixel resolution post-acquisition without requiring external training data beyond the images to be restored. Fine-tuned using metrics aligned with the imaging model, our physics-aware method achieves a 16$\times$ pixel super-resolution enhancement and a 12$\times$ imaging speedup without the need of additional training data for transfer learning. Applied to both synthetic and experimental data from five different sample types, including healthy and diseased tissues, we demonstrate that the model preserves biological integrity, as we did not detect systematic loss of biological features or biologically consequential hallucinations in tested datasets. We also concretely demonstrate the model's ability to reveal disease-associated metabolic changes that would otherwise remain undetectable. Furthermore, we provide physical insights into the model's inner workings, paving the way for future refinements that could potentially reveal novel high resolution features in an explainable manner. All methods are available as open-source software on GitHub.

OASIS: Online Adaptive Video Compression via Closed-loop Feedback Control

Computer vision systems are a key building block in an autonomous vehicle, responsible for a range of perception tasks. However, they incur massive data transmission over long communication links from multiple cameras, creating a critical bandwidth and energy bottleneck. Although conventional codecs such as H.264 can reduce data rates, they are ill-suited for real-time vision systems due to high processing latency and energy consumption, as well as their reliance on static user-defined compression settings. In light of these challenges, we propose OASIS, an adaptive video compression framework that integrates lightweight in-sensor compression with task-aware compression ratio control. Based on the real-time task performance, it dynamically updates the optimal compression ratio. Experimental results demonstrate that OASIS generalizes across multiple vision tasks, achieving on average a 6x data compression, 5.8x reduction in link power consumption, and 2.5x reduction in link latency, with at most 1.5% performance degradation.

Echo-E$^3$Net: Efficient Endocardial Spatio-Temporal Network for Ejection Fraction Estimation

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a primary marker of cardiac function. However, routine estimation from endocardial measurements requires manual delineation at end-diastole (ED) and end-systole (ES), a process that is time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability. Reliable automation is especially valuable for point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS), where computational resources are limited and acquisition quality varies. We propose Echo-E$^3$Net, an anatomy-guided spatio-temporal network that explicitly embeds cardiac anatomy into LVEF prediction. A dual-phase Endocardial Border Detector (E$^2$CBD) uses phase-specific cross-attention to localize ED/ES endocardial landmarks and produce phase-aware landmark embeddings, while an Endocardial Feature Aggregator (E$^2$FA) fuses these embeddings with global statistical descriptors of deep feature maps to refine EF regression. Training is guided by a lightweight geometric loss that uses ED and ES endocardial landmarks to regularize EF prediction. On EchoNet-Dynamic and a PSAX subset of EchoNet-Pediatric, Echo-E$^3$Net attains competitive performance using only 1.55M parameters and 8.05 GFLOPs, an order-of-magnitude compute reduction versus recent baselines, supporting real-time deployment. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/moeinheidari7829/Echo-E3Net.
