Book Chapter Description

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE)enables screening of the gastrointestinal tract by a swallowable imaging system. However, contemporary WCE systems have several limitations-battery, lowprocessing capabilities, among others-which often result in low diagnostic yield. In this chapter, after a technical presentation of the components of a standard WCE, the authors discuss the related limitations and introduce a new concept of smart capsule with embedded image processing capabilities based on a boosting approach using textural features.We discuss the feasibility of the hardware integration of the detection-recognition method, also with respect to the most recent FPGA technologies.
