후두 내시경 영상에서의 성문 분할 및 성대 점막 형태의 정량적 평가

초록

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze Deep Learning (DL) and Digital Image Processing (DIP) techniques using the results of the glottis segmentation of the two methods followed by the quantification of the asymmetric degree of the vocal cord mucosa. The data consists of 40 normal and abnormal images. The DL model is based on Deeplab V3 architecture, and the Canny edge detector algorithm and morphological operations are used for the DIP technique. According to the segmentation results, the average accuracy of the DL model and the DIP was 97.5% and 94.7% respectively. The quantification results showed high correlation coefficients for both the DL experiment (r=0.8512, p<0.0001) and the DIP experiment (r=0.7784, p<0.0001). In the conclusion, the DL model showed relatively higher segmentation accuracy than the DIP. In this paper, we propose the clinical applicability of this technique applying the segmentation and asymmetric quantification algorithm to the glottal area in the laryngoscopic images.
