EndoOOD: Uncertainty-aware Out-of-distribution Detection in Capsule Endoscopy Diagnosis
This addresses the challenge of handling undefined categories in capsule endoscopy for healthcare professionals, representing an incremental improvement in domain-specific OOD detection.
The paper tackles the problem of identifying out-of-distribution data in capsule endoscopy diagnosis, proposing the EndoOOD framework that improves robustness and reliability, with evaluations showing effectiveness in enhancing diagnostic accuracy compared to 12 state-of-the-art methods.
Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that enables visualization of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Deep learning-based methods have shown effectiveness in disease screening using WCE data, alleviating the burden on healthcare professionals. However, existing capsule endoscopy classification methods mostly rely on pre-defined categories, making it challenging to identify and classify out-of-distribution (OOD) data, such as undefined categories or anatomical landmarks. To address this issue, we propose the Endoscopy Out-of-Distribution (EndoOOD) framework, which aims to effectively handle the OOD detection challenge in WCE diagnosis. The proposed framework focuses on improving the robustness and reliability of WCE diagnostic capabilities by incorporating uncertainty-aware mixup training and long-tailed in-distribution (ID) data calibration techniques. Additionally, virtual-logit matching is employed to accurately distinguish between OOD and ID data while minimizing information loss. To assess the performance of our proposed solution, we conduct evaluations and comparisons with 12 state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods using two publicly available datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and supporting clinical decision-making.
