  • HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING FOR PASSIVE DETECTION OF COLORECTAL CANCERS
    Publication number: 20190261913
    Abstract: A method of detecting colorectal cancers using a hyperspectral sensor system includes receiving a training set of hyperspectral data from colorectal tissue that includes known normal and known cancerous tissue using the hyperspectral sensor system, applying a machine learning algorithm to the training set of hyperspectral data to provide predictor parameters for one of cancerous tissue or non-cancerous tissue, receiving measurement hyperspectral data from colorectal tissue of interest, and using the predictor parameters to classify the colorectal tissue of interest as one of cancerous tissue or non-cancerous tissue. The training set of hyperspectral data and the measurement hyperspectral data include reflection spectra across wavelength bands of light that include at least visible, near infrared and short-wave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
