Project Description

This is "The Multimedia Signal Processing and Security Lab", short WaveLab, website. We are a research group at the Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) Department of the University of Salzburg led by Andreas Uhl. Our research is focused on Visual Data Processing and associated security questions. Most of our work is currently concentrated on Biometrics, Media Forensics and Media Security, Medical Image and Video Analysis, and application oriented fundamental research in digital humanities, individualised aquaculture and sustainable wood industry.
   

Computer Assisted Mucosal Lesion Analysis in High Definition Digital Chromoendoscopic Colon Images Using Wavelet Techniques (ColonHD)

 

Project Description:

ColonHD (FWF TRP project 206) is a joint project with Michael Häfner from the St. Elisabeth Hospital, Vienna. The aim of the project is to develop a computer-based decision support system for an automated diagnosis of colon cancer based on high-definition digital chromoendoscopic colon imagery. Staging is done according to a histopathologic ground truth. Images and videos as acquired in Vienna are transfered to Salzburg in anonymous fashion. The Salzburg branch is developing custom classification techniques based on various incarnations of the wavelet transform where the aim is to achieve equivalent classification results as compared to the histological findings.
