Semi-supervised Learning for Segmentation of Bleeding Regions in Video Capsule Endoscopy [PDF]
In the realm of modern diagnostic technology, video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is a standout for its high efficacy and non-invasive nature in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, including obscure bleeding. Importantly, for the successful diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, accurate recognition of bleeding regions in VCE images is
