Abstract

We present an initial study analysing the surface morphology of colorectal polyps from optical projection tomography. The differential geometry of polyp surfaces, segmented using a level sets method, is explored in terms of local, multi-scale shape index and curvedness descriptors. A surface region of interest can be represented using histograms of these descriptors. An experiment is described investigating the ability to predict pit pattern categories from these histograms using support vector machines.
