Claim 22:
23. A method of objective assessment of images captured from a human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the method comprising:
receiving one or more images captured using an endoscope when the endoscope is inside the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract;
detecting whether any specific target object is in said one or more images; and
when one or more specific target objects in said one or more images are detected:
determining area sizes of said one or more specific target objects in said one or more images;
deriving an objective assessment score based on the area sizes of said one or more specific target objects in said one or more images;
wherein said detecting said one or more specific target objects is performed using an artificial intelligence process; and
wherein the area sizes of said one or more specific target objects in said one or more images are scaled according to respective object distances of said one or more specific target objects respectively in said one or more images, and wherein scaled area sizes of said one or more specific target objects in said one or more images are used for said deriving the objective assessment score; and
wherein when one specific target object is away from a mucosa of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the respective object distance of said one specific target object is derived from a first distance from a camera of the endoscope to the mucosa of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract in a neighborhood area associated with said one specific target object.
