Colonoscopy is the most recommended test for preventing/detecting colorectal cancer. Nowadays, digital videos can be recorded during colonoscopy procedures in order to develop diagnostic support tools. Once video-frames are annotated, machine learning algorithms have been commonly used in the classification of normal-vs-abnormal frames. However, automatic analysis of colonoscopy videos becomes a challenging problem since segments of a video annotated as abnormal, such as cancer or polypos, may contain blurry, sharp and bright frames. In this paper, a method based on texture analysis, using Local Binary Patterns on the frequency domain, is presented. The method aims to automatically classify colonoscopy video frames into either informative or non-informative. The proposed method is evaluated using videos annotated by gastroenterologists for training a support vector machines classifier. Experimental evaluation shown values of accuracy over 97%.
