GlottisNetV2: Temporal Glottal Midline Detection Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

ABSTRACT: High-speed videoendoscopy is a major tool for quantitative laryngology. Glottis segmentation and glottal midline detection are crucial for computing vocal fold-specific, quantitative parameters. However, fully automated solutions show limited clinical applicability. Especially unbiased glottal midline detection remains a challenging problem. We developed a multitask deep neural network for glottis segmentation and glottal midline detection. We used techniques from pose estimation to estimate the anterior and posterior points in endoscopy images. Neural networks were set up in TensorFlow/Keras and trained and evaluated with the BAGLS dataset. We found that a dual decoder deep neural network termed GlottisNetV2 outperforms the previously proposed GlottisNet in terms of MAPE on the test datas
