Identification of Early Esophageal Cancer by Semantic Segmentation.

ABSTRACT: Early detection of esophageal cancer has always been difficult, thereby reducing the overall five-year survival rate of patients. In this study, semantic segmentation was used to predict and label esophageal cancer in its early stages. U-Net was used as the basic artificial neural network along with Resnet to extract feature maps that will classify and predict the location of esophageal cancer. A total of 75 white-light images (WLI) and 90 narrow-band images (NBI) were used. These images were classified into three categories: normal, dysplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma. After labeling, the data were divided into a training set, verification set, and test set. The training set was approved by the encoder-decoder model to train the prediction model. Research results show that the average
