Project Description

This is "The Multimedia Signal Processing and Security Lab", short WaveLab, website. We are a research group at the Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) Department of the University of Salzburg led by Andreas Uhl. Our research is focused on Visual Data Processing and associated security questions. Most of our work is currently concentrated on Biometrics, Media Forensics and Media Security, Medical Image and Video Analysis, and application oriented fundamental research in digital humanities, individualised aquaculture and sustainable wood industry.
   

Computer-assisted evaluation of endoscopic pictures of the duodenal mucosa of children with positive celiac serology (EndoCeliac)

 

Project Description:

EndoCeliac (Austrian National Bank Jubiläumsfonds project no. 12991 by the St. Anna Children's Hospital Vienna) is a joint project with Andreas Vecsei from the St. Anna Children's Hospital in Vienna. The aim of the project is to develop a computer-based decision support system for an automated diagnosis of celiac disease based on endoscopic colon imagery. Staging is done according to the Marsh calssification scheme. Images are acquired at the St. Anna Children's Hospital in Vienna and are transfered to Salzburg in anonymous fashion. The histological classification is available as ground truth. The Salzburg branch is developing custom classification techniques based on various features extracted from the spatial, Fourier-type, and Wavelet-type domains where the aim is to achieve at least equivalent classification results as compared to the histological findings.
