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 Pit Pattern Analysis of Colonic Lesion (EndoPit)

 

Project Description:

EndoPit (Austrian National Bank Jubiläumsfonds project no. 12514 by the Medical University of Vienna) is a joint project with Michael Häfner from the Medical University of Vienna. The aim of the project is to develop a computer-based decision support system for an automated diagnosis of colon cancer based on zoom-endoscopic colon imagery. Staging is done according to the recent pit pattern calssification scheme. Images are acquired at the Medical University of Vienna and are transfered to Salzburg in anonymous fashion. The histological classification is available as ground truth. The Salzburg branch is developing custom classification techniques based on various features extracted from the spatial and Fourier-type domains where the aim is to achieve at least equivalent classification results as compared to the histological findings.
