ST-ColoNet: Spatio-Temporal Colon Segment Recognition via Hybrid Attention and Edge-Guided Feature Learning
Abstract
Colo-segment recognition in colonoscopy videos is a key requirement for many downstream tasks, but existing automatic recognition methods only use colonoscopy images without fully exploiting the use of temporal information, leading to poor performance. Additionally, relevant public video-based datasets are in scarcity. To tackle this problem, we curate and release a labeled dataset specifically for the task of colo-segment recognition. In addition, we propose a two-stage deep learning-based framework, Colo-Segment Recognition via SpatioTemporal Network (ST-ColoNet), for the task of colo-segment recognition from colonoscopy videos which includes the Colorlaus module that uses metric learning to optimize edge-mediated spatial feature extraction, as well as the Full-Temp module which combines three self-attention patterns to better approximate full self-attention on long colonoscopy sequences and optimize temporal feature aggregation. Through extensive ablation experiments, we show that our framework is capable of achieving state-of-the-art performance on the task of colo-segment recognition, achieving an accuracy of 81.0% and F1-score of 70.7%, which is a tremendous improvement over state-of-the-art methods.
