Abstract

Endoscopic video frames tend to be corrupted by various artefacts impairing their visibility. Automated detection of these artefacts will foster advances in computer-assisted diagnosis, post-examination procedures and frame restoration software. In this work, we propose an ensemble of deep learning object detectors to automate multi-class artefact detection in video endoscopy. Our approach achieved a mean average precision (mAP) of 0.3087 and an average intersection-over-union (IoU) of 0.3997 on the EAD2019 test set. This resulted in a final score of 0.3451 and the 3rd rank in the EAD 2019 object detection sub-challenge leaderboard.
