  • Chapter 2 Introduction
    Automated visibility map from colonoscopy video to support clinical diagnosis and improve the quality of colonoscopy Mohammad Ali Armin A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CANBERRA FACULTY OF EDUCATION SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND MATHEMATICS NOVEMBER 2016 i I DEDICATE THIS TO MY PARENTS WHO ARE THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE. ii Abstract Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer related deaths in the world. In 2012, it was reported to have claimed more than 694,000 lives worldwide [1], [2]. When diagnosed early, survival from cancerous polyps can increase up to 90% [1]. Current reports estimate that one in 12 Australian males will develop colorectal cancer within their lifetime, one of the highest rates in the world [1]. Among screening methods, optical colonoscopy is widely used to diagnose and remove cancerous polyps. Although optical colonoscopy is an effective procedure for diagnosing colorectal cancer, there are many factors that affect the quality of this intervention [3]. Inspecting the whole colon surface in order to detect polyps and other lesions is challenging because haustral folds can hide lesions, the organ might deform, visibility can be reduced due to dirty lens, and also because challenges in operating the colonoscope could result in not visualising all the colon surface. An undesirable consequence is missing cancerous lesions, up to 33% according to recent publications [4], [5]. The aim of this research project is to enhance the quality of colon inspection by improving the quality and extent of the visual inspection of the internal colon surface.

  • Designing Sensory-Substitution Devices: Principles, Pitfalls and Potential1
    Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience 34 (2016) 769–787 769 DOI 10.3233/RNN-160647 IOS Press Designing sensory-substitution devices: Principles, pitfalls and potential1 Arni´ Kristjansson´ a,∗, Alin Moldoveanub, Omar´ I. Johannesson´ a, Oana Balanb, Simone Spagnolc, Vigd´ıs Vala Valgeirsdottir´ a and Runar´ Unnthorssonc aLaboratory of Visual Perception and Visuomotor control, University of Iceland, Faculty of Psychology, School of Health Sciences, Reykjavik, Iceland bUniversity Politehnica of Bucharest, Faculty of Automatic Control and Computers, Computer Science and Engineering Department, Bucharest, Romania cFaculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Reykjavik, Iceland Abstract. An exciting possibility for compensating for loss of sensory function is to augment deficient senses by conveying missing information through an intact sense. Here we present an overview of techniques that have been developed for sensory substitution (SS) for the blind, through both touch and audition, with special emphasis on the importance of training for the use of such devices, while highlighting potential pitfalls in their design. One example of a pitfall is how conveying extra information about the environment risks sensory overload. Related to this, the limits of attentional capacity make it important to focus on key information and avoid redundancies. Also, differences in processing characteristics and bandwidth between sensory systems severely constrain the information that can be conveyed. Furthermore, perception is a continuous process and does not involve a snapshot of the environment. Design of sensory substitution devices therefore requires assessment of the nature of spatiotemporal continuity for the different senses. Basic psychophysical and neuroscientific research into representations of the environment and the most effective ways of conveying information should lead to better design of sensory substitution systems.
