Abstract

Endoscopy is a process that allows viewing/ visualize the inside of a human body. In this article, we propose a specular reflection detection algorithm for endoscopic images that utilizes intensity, saturation and gradient information. The proposed algorithm is a two-stage procedure: (a) image enhancement using an adaptive alpha-rooting algorithm and (b) an efficient reflection detection algorithm in the HSV color space. The extensive computer simulations show a significant improvement over stateof-the-art results for specular reflection detection and segmentation accuracy.
