Abstract
Colorectal polyps are an important cause of colon cancer and can be effectively detected by colonoscopy or Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE). Up to now, many studies have applied Deep Learning (DL) to polyp detection and have obtained promising results, but all the algorithms are run on GPUs. They cannot be transferred to the fast-growing segment of mobile medical devices which require low power uptake. To bridge this gap, we designed a polyp detection algorithm for a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). We present the detailed procedure of Deep Neural Network (DNN) design and the FPGA implementation and show that the FPGA-based polyp detection outperforms the GPU-based one in terms of energy efficiency and lower latency. We thus demonstrate the feasibility of an application scenario for energy-efficient mobile medical devices without highly specialized FPGA skills.
