Challenge: Automatic Detection and Classification of
Bleeding and Non-Bleeding frames in Wireless Capsule Endoscopy
Abstract: The aim of the Auto-WCEBleedGen challenge is to provide an opportunity for the
development, testing and evaluation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models for automatic
detection and classification of bleeding and non-bleeding frames extracted from Wireless
Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) videos. Auto-WCEBleedGen is first of its kind, consists of
different training and test datasets and promotes the development of vendor-independent,
interpretable, and generalized AI models. The training dataset consists of 2618 bleeding and
non-bleeding WCE frames collected from multiple internet resources, datasets with a vast
variety and types of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding throughout the GI tract along with
medically validated binary masks and bounding boxes in three formats (txt, XML and YOLO
txt). The test dataset is an independently collected WCE data containing bleeding and non-
bleeding frames of more than 30 patients suffering from acute, chronic and occult GI
bleeding referred at Department of Gastroenterology and HNU, All India Institute of Medical
Sciences, New Delhi, India. The challenge will take place in an online mode on virtual
platform MISAHUB from 11 September to 15 October 2023.
Challenge e-registration closing date: 20 September 2023
Target Audience: B.Tech, M. Tech, Ph.D. students of all branches, years and industry
professionals.
