[0050] The above optional embodiment, as an inventive point of the embodiments of the present disclosure, solves the technical problem of "currently, most otolaryngology endoscopic systems are not easy to replace components related to optimizing the display function (such as a liquid crystal logic board and a backlight circuit board) and lack the linkage ability with external devices". The factors that cause most current endoscopic systems to be not easy to replace components related to optimizing the display function and lack the linkage ability with external devices are as follows: On the one hand, components related to optimizing the display function are usually set inside the endoscopic host. If replacement is required, the host needs to be completely disassembled, which is time-consuming and laborious. On the other hand, most current endoscopic systems are not configured with linkage with external devices (such as mobile phones or other endoscopic devices), lacking flexibility. If the above factors are solved, the effect of simplifying the components related to optimizing the display function in the endoscopic system and improving flexibility can be achieved. To achieve this effect, on the one hand, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method that can partially expose the liquid crystal logic board and the backlight circuit board while embedding them in the host, and only need to loosen the host during disassembly, simplifying the disassembly and replacement process. On the other hand, the embodiments of the present disclosure are configured with a function that can be linked with external devices. The above-mentioned chip can store the user's endoscopic images and can produce a linkage effect with the mobile phone app of external users, enabling the user to view their own endoscopic images and related information even when they are in different places, improving the flexibility of the endoscopic system. Thus, while simplifying the process of disassembling and replacing the display components, a method of linking with external devices is provided, improving the flexibility of the above-mentioned portable endoscopic integrated system.

[0053] In the second step, input the above-mentioned endoscopic image to be processed into the feature extraction layer of a pre-trained image enhancement model to obtain an endoscopic image feature map. Among them, the above-mentioned image enhancement model includes a feature extraction layer, a channel attention layer, a spatial attention layer, a reconstruction layer, and an output layer. The above-mentioned image enhancement model may be a neural network model that takes the image taken by an otolaryngology endoscope as input data and outputs an image taken by the above-mentioned otolaryngology endoscope with a higher resolution. In practice, the training samples of the above-mentioned pre-trained image enhancement model may be endoscopic images with key areas manually marked, where the above-mentioned key areas may be areas with more fine tissues or more complex areas.

The above-mentioned channel attention layer may be used to output a weight vector for calibrating the importance of channels. The above-mentioned spatial attention layer may include a max pooling layer and an average pooling layer. The above-mentioned spatial attention layer may be used to fuse and enhance important features and output a weight map of the key spatial regions of the above-mentioned endoscopic image to be processed. The cooperation of the above-mentioned channel attention layer and the spatial attention layer can enable the above-mentioned image enhancement model to preferentially enhance the above-mentioned key areas of the above-mentioned endoscopic image to be processed. The above-mentioned reconstruction layer may include a convolutional layer with a 3*3 convolutional kernel and a stride of 1 and a convolutional layer with a 5*5 convolutional kernel and a stride of 1. The above-mentioned reconstruction layer may be used to output a preliminarily reconstructed high-resolution image tensor. The above-mentioned output layer may be used to denormalize the above-mentioned preliminarily reconstructed high-resolution image tensor to output the enhanced above-mentioned endoscopic image to be processed.

[0054] In the second step, input the above-mentioned endoscopic image feature map into the above-mentioned channel attention layer to obtain an endoscopic image with channel attention adjusted.

[0055] In the third step, the endoscope image after the above channel attention adjustment is input into the above spatial attention layer to obtain the endoscope image after the spatial attention adjustment.

[0056] In the fourth step, the endoscope image after the above spatial attention adjustment is input into the above reconstruction layer to obtain the reconstructed endoscope image.

[0057] In the fifth step, the above reconstructed endoscope image is output through the above output layer to obtain the enhanced endoscope image.

[0058] In the sixth step, the above enhanced endoscope image is visualized through the above display 2. Among them, the clarity of the above enhanced endoscope image is higher than that of the above endoscopic image to be processed. For example, the resolution before enhancement is 720P, and the full-image resolution or local resolution after enhancement can be 1080P.

[0059] The technical solutions of the above first step to the sixth step are an inventive point of the embodiments of the present disclosure, which solves the technical problem of "the uneven quality of endoscopic image due to the access of various different endoscopes". The specific factors leading to the uneven quality of endoscopic images are as follows: Since the image quality accessed by each different model of endoscope will vary, when they are compatible on the same device, the phenomenon of uneven image quality will occur. If the above factors are solved, the problem of poor endoscopic image quality caused by the compatibility of different endoscopes can be solved. To achieve this effect, the present disclosure processes the received endoscopic images through the following steps: First, obtain the image of the human body detected by the above optical endoscope or the above electronic endoscope to obtain the endoscopic image to be processed. Then, input the above endoscopic image to be processed into the feature extraction layer of the pre-trained image enhancement model to obtain the endoscopic image feature map, where the above image enhancement model includes a feature extraction layer, a channel attention layer, a spatial attention layer, a reconstruction layer, and an output layer. Thus, a feature map is obtained that extracts basic features such as initial texture and edges. Then, input the above endoscopic image feature map into the above channel attention layer to obtain the endoscopic image adjusted by the channel attention. Then, input the endoscopic image adjusted by the channel attention into the above spatial attention layer to obtain the endoscopic image adjusted by the spatial attention. Thus, an endoscopic image with prominent key areas is obtained, enabling the above image enhancement model to preferentially enhance the key areas and saving the configuration required for model operation. Then, input the endoscopic image adjusted by the spatial attention into the above reconstruction layer to obtain the reconstructed endoscopic image. Thus, a preliminarily enhanced image vector is obtained. Then, output the above reconstructed endoscopic image through the above output layer to obtain the enhanced endoscopic image. Finally, visualize the above enhanced endoscopic image through the above display, where the clarity of the enhanced endoscopic image is higher than that of the above endoscopic image to be processed. On the one hand, the above steps can optimize the endoscopic images with degraded image quality due to the access of various different endoscopes through the image enhancement model, and on the other hand, can distinguish the priority and importance of the optimization, and focus on optimizing and enhancing the more important parts. Thus, the endoscopic images obtained by accessing various different endoscopes can be optimized and unified, improving the user experience.

[0060] Optionally, the above portable endoscopic integrated device may further include an image processing chip. The above image processing chip may be an NPU (Neural Network Processor). The above image processing chip is configured to:

[0061] First step, obtain the above enhanced endoscopic image.

[0062] Step 2: Input the above enhanced endoscopic image into the first extraction convolutional layer of a pre-trained anomaly classification model to obtain a preliminary feature extraction map. The above anomaly classification model includes a first extraction convolutional layer, a second extraction convolutional layer, a self-attention layer, a first fully-connected layer, a second fully-connected layer, and a classification output layer. The above anomaly classification model can be a neural network model that takes the enhanced otolaryngology endoscopic image as input data and the anomaly classification probability as output data. In practice, the samples of the above pre-trained anomaly classification model can be an image set with manually circled anomaly regions and corresponding descriptive labels. For example, circle the red and ulcerated parts on an endoscopic image and attach the label "type I anomaly". Both the above first extraction convolutional layer and the above second extraction convolutional layer can include a convolutional layer with a 3*3 convolutional kernel and a stride of 1, and a pooling layer with a 2*2 pooling kernel and a stride of 2. Among them, the above first extraction convolutional layer can be used to complete the extraction of the basic texture and simple contour features of the input image at one time, reducing the complex layering in the early stage of the network. The activation function (such as ReLU) is used to introduce non-linearity and enhance the model's expressiveness. The above second extraction convolutional layer can mine more implicit and deep-level feature information based on the feature map of the first extraction convolutional layer. The above self-attention layer (Self-Attention Layer) can be a mechanism in deep learning that allows the model to dynamically adjust the degree of attention to each element by calculating the correlation scores between elements at different positions in the sequence when processing sequence data, thereby capturing the complex dependencies within the sequence. This mechanism enables the model to capture the dependencies between different positions in the input sequence. The core of the above self-attention layer lies in calculating three key vectors: query, key, and value. When processing the above enhanced endoscopic image, traditional convolutional neural networks focus on local feature extraction and are difficult to capture long-distance dependencies, such as the associations between anomaly regions that are far apart. The above self-attention layer can be used to break through the position limitation, calculate the correlation between the elements at each position on the feature map and all other position elements, and re-distribute the weights of each position element accordingly, making the key features more prominent. The above first fully-connected layer can be used to flatten the feature map output by the above self-attention layer into a one-dimensional vector, initially converge the scattered features with the help of fully-connected neurons, and make a preliminary mapping in the direction of anomaly classification. The above second fully-connected layer can be used to complete the final anomaly classification mapping, finely adjust the connection weights of each neuron according to the input vector to distinguish various anomalies. The above classification output layer can be used to output a formatted classification result, providing users with an intuitive and quantitative reference for the possibility of anomalies.

[0063] Step 3: Input the above preliminary feature extraction map into the above second extraction convolutional layer to obtain a deep feature extraction map.

[0064] In the fourth step, input the above-mentioned depth feature extraction map into the above-mentioned self-attention layer to obtain a classification feature map with optimized weight distribution.

[0065] In the fifth step, input the above-mentioned classification feature map with optimized weight distribution into the above-mentioned first fully-connected layer to obtain an intermediate-dimensional vector. Among them, the above-mentioned intermediate-dimensional vector contains the preliminary mapping of the above-mentioned classification feature map with optimized weight distribution and classification information.

[0066] In the sixth step, input the above-mentioned intermediate-dimensional vector into the above-mentioned second fully-connected layer to obtain an abnormal classification prediction probability vector.

[0067] In the seventh step, output the above-mentioned abnormal classification prediction probability vector through the above-mentioned classification output layer to obtain an abnormal classification result. For example, output "The possibility of type I abnormality is 70%, and the possibility of type II abnormality is 30%".

[0068] In the eighth step, visualize the above-mentioned abnormal classification result through the above-mentioned display 2. In practice, the above-mentioned abnormal classification result can be a printable complete report, and can be accompanied by a diagram showing the abnormal area. The above-mentioned abnormal area can be obtained and circled according to the above-mentioned classification feature map with optimized weight distribution obtained by the above-mentioned abnormal classification model.

[0069] The technical solutions of the first step to the eighth step above are an inventive point of the embodiments of the present disclosure, which solve the technical problem that "most otolaryngology endoscope integrated systems lack the function of classifying and judging abnormalities". If the above factors are solved, the problem that most otolaryngology endoscope integrated systems lack the function of classifying and judging abnormalities is solved. To achieve this effect, the present disclosure processes the received enhanced endoscope images through the following steps: First, obtain the above enhanced endoscope images. Then, input the above enhanced endoscope images into the first extraction convolutional layer of a pre-trained abnormality classification model to obtain a preliminary feature extraction map, where the above abnormality classification model includes a first extraction convolutional layer, a second extraction convolutional layer, a self-attention layer, a first fully connected layer, a second fully connected layer, and a classification output layer. Then, input the above preliminary feature extraction map into the above second extraction convolutional layer to obtain a depth feature extraction map. Then, input the above depth feature extraction map into the above self-attention layer to obtain a classification feature map with optimized weight distribution. Then, input the above classification feature map with optimized weight distribution into the above first fully connected layer to obtain an intermediate-dimensional vector, where the above intermediate-dimensional vector contains a preliminary mapping of the above classification feature map with optimized weight distribution and classification information. Then, input the above intermediate-dimensional vector into the above second fully connected layer to obtain an abnormality classification prediction probability vector. Then, output the above abnormality classification prediction probability vector through the above classification output layer to obtain an abnormality classification result. Thus, an abnormality judgment classification report can be obtained. Finally, visualize the above abnormality classification result through the above display. On the one hand, the above steps can further utilize the above key-enhanced endoscopic images to provide better training samples for the above abnormality judgment model. On the other hand, it provides an abnormality classification and judgment function for the above portable endoscope integrated device. Thus, an abnormality classification and judgment function can be provided to assist the user in judging the abnormality category and improve the user experience.
