Precise localization within the GI tract by combining classification of
  CNNs and time-series analysis of HMMs
Julia Werner Christoph Gerum Moritz Reiber Jörg Nick Oliver Bringmann
This paper presents a method to efficiently classify the gastroenterologic
section of images derived from Video Capsule Endoscopy (VCE) studies by
exploring the combination of a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for
classification with the time-series analysis properties of a Hidden Markov
Model (HMM). It is demonstrated that successive time-series analysis identifies
and corrects errors in the CNN output. Our approach achieves an accuracy of
$98.04\%$ on the Rhode Island (RI) Gastroenterology dataset. This allows for
precise localization within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract while requiring
only approximately 1M parameters and thus, provides a method suitable for low
power devices
