Abstract :
In this paper, we tackle the problem of unsupervised segmentation of intestinal events using various motility descriptors extracted from the endoluminal video. The segments of constant intestinal activity are detected with a robust statistical test that is based on Hoeffding´s inequality. The qualitative analysis of the results shows that the segments adjust well to the motility information and thus, this segmentation can constitute basic units for higher-level motility description.
