Abstract:
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a technology with high<br/> potential in the field of non-invasive detection of cancer.<br/> However, in complex imaging situations like HSI of the<br/> larynx with a rigid endoscope, various image interferences<br/> can disable a proper classification of cancerous tissue. We<br/> identified three main problems: i) misregistration of single<br/> images in a HS cube due to patient heartbeat ii) image<br/> noise and iii) specular reflections (SR). Consequently, an<br/> image pre-processor is developed in the current paper to<br/> overcome these image interferences. It encompasses i)<br/> image registration ii) noise removal by minimum noise<br/> fraction (MNF) transformation and iii) a novel SR detection method. The results reveal that the pre-processor improves classification performance, while the newly developed SR detection method outperforms global thresholding technique hitherto used by 46%. The novel pre-processor will be used for future studies towards the development of an operational scheme for HS-based larynx cancer detection.
