This paper addresses the estimation problem of endoscopic content area and proposes two algorithms based on edge detection and circle fitting. A dataset of manually annotated and pseudo-labelled content areas is provided for research. The proposed algorithm shows significant improvement in both accuracy and computational time compared to state-of-the-art methods.
Endoscopic content area refers to the informative area enclosed by the dark, non-informative, border regions present in most endoscopic footage. The estimation of the content area is a common task in endoscopic image processing and computer vision pipelines. Despite the apparent simplicity of the problem, several factors make reliable real-time estimation surprisingly challenging. The lack of rigorous investigation into the topic combined with the lack of a common benchmark dataset for this task has been a long-lasting issue in the field. In this paper, we propose two variants of a lean GPU-based computational pipeline combining edge detection and circle fitting. The two variants differ by relying on handcrafted features, and learned features respectively to extract content area edge point candidates. We also present a first-of-its-kind dataset of manually annotated and pseudo-labelled content areas across a range of surgical indications. To encourage further developments, the curated dataset, and an implementation of both algorithms, has been made public (anonymised url , ). We compare our proposed algorithm with a state-of-the-art U-Net-based approach and demonstrate significant improvement in terms of both accuracy (Hausdorff distance: 6.3 px versus 118.1 px) and computational time (Average runtime per frame: 0.13 ms versus 11.2 ms).
