Details

This research introduces computer vision technology to assist in the preliminary diagnosis of Otitis Media. By utilizing deep learning techniques like YOLOv8 and Inception v3, the study aims to classify the disease and its key characteristics from otoscopic images.

Otitis Media is an infection of the middle ear that can occur in individuals of all ages. Diagnosis typically involves analyzing images taken with an otoscope by specialized physicians, which relies heavily on medical experience to expedite the process. This research introduces computer vision technology to assist in the preliminary diagnosis, aiding expert decision-making. By utilizing deep learning techniques and convolutional neural networks, specifically the YOLOv8 and Inception v3 architectures, the study aims to classify the disease and its five characteristics used by physicians: color, transparency, fluid, retraction, and perforation. Additionally, image segmentation and classification methods were employed to analyze and predict the types of Otitis Media, which are categorized into four types: Otitis Media with Effusion, Acute Otitis Media with Effusion, Perforation, and Normal. Experimental results indicate that the classification model performs moderately well in directly classifying Otitis Media, with an accuracy of 65.7%, a recall of 65.7%, and a precision of 67.6%. Moreover, the model provides the best results for classifying the perforation characteristic, with an accuracy of 91.8%, a recall of 91.8%, and a precision of 92.1%. In contrast, the classification model that incorporates image segmentation techniques achieved the best overall performance, with an mAP50-95 of 79.63%, a recall of 100%, and a precision of 99.8%. However, this model has not yet been tested for classifying the different types of Otitis Media.

Objective

The objectives are to develop segmentation and classification models for identifying Otitis Media characteristics and predicting disease types, and to create a diagnostic tool to support pediatricians and general practitioners.

  1. Study appropriate methods to experiment and develop models for Segmentation and Classification to identify characteristics used in considering Otitis Media and models for predicting types of Otitis Media.
  2. Create a tool using Segmentation and Classification techniques that can assist pediatricians or primary care physicians, including newly graduated doctors or those with limited experience in diagnosis.
