The growth of malignant colon
polyps is a serious threat to both men’s and women’s lives, and image
analysis performed during a colonoscopy is the procedure that is
utilized the most frequently to test for benign and malignant polyps.
Even though colorectal cancer is a major problem on a global scale, the
mortality rate can be significantly lowered with the early diagnosis of
polyps. This study made use of a model for the early detection of
polyps. The model began by gathering data from the Kvasir-SEG dataset,
and then proceeded to apply data augmentation techniques in order to
boost the effectiveness of the dataset. The data were divided as
follows: 80% percent for training and 20% for testing, including 20% of
the training data utilized for validation to prevent overfitting. The
study examined the dataset with YOLOv5 (You Only Look Once),
specifically three variants of the model called YOLOv5s, YOLOv5m, and
YOLOv5l. This allowed them to monitor each model’s performance while
contrasting the results of the various models.. Results showed that
YOLOv5l had the highest average testing IoU of 86.25% compared to the
other employed models.
