On specific features of the endoscopic image processing

Main principles of endoscopic image processing are considered. Specific characteristics of such images and complexities in their classification are discussed. We suggest that several features may be regarded as specific signs that can be used to discriminate between benign and malignant loci. The methods of colour histograms, gradients and texture analysis are considered and discussed.
