Aguascalientes, Ags., July 16, 2024.- Professor and students of the School of Engineering of our Panamerican campus in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. Panamericana campus Aguascalientes participated in the conference IEEE CBMS 2024one of the most important congresses in the world in the area of medical imaging.
Award for the best student paper of the conference
Ricardo Espinosa Loera , director of the Artificial Intelligence Engineering program, and the students Javier Eluney Hernández and Ulises Gallardo Rodríguez participated in the IEEE CBMS 2024 (International Symposium on Computer-based Medical Systems) conference.
Three research papers were presented at the event -focusing on the medical area- of which the paper entitled "Color-aware Exposure Correction for Endoscopic Imaging using a Lightweight Vision Transformer" was awarded as the best student paper of the conference. It is a 3D reconstruction of the colon, to generate images in 3 dimensions, with which the physician can detect over time certain diseases such as polyps, bleeding, malformations.
This article exposes the difficulty that doctors have when performing endoscopies to patients, since the illumination is not adequate and generates problems of overexposure or underexposure in the image. It is a model based on Artificial Intelligence that makes it possible to reduce these two problems: "What we have done is an algorithm for image enhancement against these two problems . When the image passes through the algorithm, the rapid improvement is performed in real time", explains Ricardo Espinosa.
This award was given based on the quality and results of the article as evaluated by internal and external reviewers of the conference.
On the other hand, the other papers presented were "GYMetricPose: A light-weight angle-based graph adaptation for action quality assessment" which deals with the detection of correct postures during physical activity in the gym and "A deep learning-based image pre-processing pipeline for enhanced 3D colon surface reconstruction robust to endoscopic illumination artifacts", which deals with colon reconstruction.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to obtaining this award, the professor and students obtained a scholarship to attend the next congress to be held in Madrid 2025, as well as the opportunity to continue sharing research articles and presenting them at conferences.
