Adaptive specular reflection detection and inpainting in colonoscopy video frames

Understand

Colonoscopy video frames might be contaminated by bright spots with unsaturated values known as specular reflection.

• Detection and removal of such reflections could enhance the quality of colonoscopy images and facilitate diagnosis procedure.
• In this paper we propose a novel two-phase method for this purpose, consisting of detection and removal phases.
• In the detection phase, we employ both HSV and RGB color space information for segmentation of specular reflections.
