4. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS 5. CONCLUSION
We evaluate our proposed reflection detection and We proposed a novel adaptive specular reflection detection
inpainting method using CVC-ColonDB database. The method in the colonoscopy frames. The detection method
database is available for the current challenge on polyp was based on adaptation between the proposed RGB and
detection in colonoscopy videos [11]. This database HSV detection methods. The adaptation was performed
contains colonoscopy videos from 15 video sequences. Our using a non-linear SVM classifier and the resulting detected
database has ground truth for colonic polyps and we reflection was inpainted by our inpainting method. The
randomly select 100 images from whole dataset to evaluate experimental results show better detection of reflection in
our proposed reflection detection and inpainting method. comparison with similar research works in this field. The
We manually segment specular reflections for these 100 inpainting was performed to prepare the images for tasks,
images. All methods are implemented on Corei7 Intel CPU such as polyp detection, that may later on be performed on
and 6GB of RAM memory and MATLAB R2014a these frames.
