Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer Vision
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool for the gastrointestinal tract.
  • WCE faces challenges in video quality and diagnostic accuracy due to factors like non-Lambertian reflections, uneven illumination, and color fidelity issues, leading to missed diagnoses.
  • Existing image enhancement methods, such as traditional Retinex-based approaches, often degrade anatomical details and distort colors, limiting their effectiveness in endoscopic applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel image enhancement framework for WCE that addresses limitations of existing methods.
  • To improve video quality, diagnostic accuracy, and color fidelity in WCE images.
  • To enhance the detection of gastrointestinal lesions through improved image analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Introduction of QRNet, a new quaternion-based Retinex framework for image enhancement.
  • Image decomposition into reflectance and illumination components in hypercomplex space to maintain inter-channel relationships and color fidelity.
  • Utilizing a quaternion wavelet attention mechanism for feature refinement and noise suppression, balanced by an innovative loss function.

Main Results:

  • QRNet demonstrated significant improvements in image quality metrics on Kvasir-Capsule and Red Lesion Endoscopy datasets, including PSNR (+2.3 dB), SSIM (+0.089), and LPIPS (-0.126).
  • Lesion segmentation accuracy increased by up to 5%, suggesting enhanced capability for early lesion detection.
  • Ablation studies confirmed the critical role of quaternion representation in preserving color consistency.

Conclusions:

  • QRNet offers a promising solution for enhancing WCE images, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods.
  • The framework's ability to maintain color fidelity and anatomical detail can improve diagnostic accuracy and facilitate earlier detection of gastrointestinal lesions.
  • The advanced approach shows significant potential for clinical application in improving endoscopic diagnostics.
