9-1 Features for Measuring the Congestion Area in Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Internal Hemorrhoids Using Endoscopic Images

Abstract

This paper presents features for measuring congestion area in endoscopic images of internal hemorrhoids. The congestion is a symptom in the hemorrhoids and the features could be useful as variables in discrimination of the hemorrhoid cases. Experimental results using 80 cases showed ratio of the discrimination are more than 85 %.
