General strengths and limitations of DL studies.

Author Strengths Limitations
Hou et al. [50] (2019)
  • Their approach generalizes significantly better to cancer cases without training data.

  • Investigated the best quality without supervision cost.

  • Not generalized with mixed-quality image classification.

Shapcott et al. [101] (2019)
  • Reported cellularity, which has been linked to patient and prognostic indicators and other diagnostic.

  • Not handling small clusters or tumor polyps of up to five polyps in the stroma, which is associated with aggressive cancer.

Ben Hamida et al. [117] (2021)
  • Their method improved the results when treating with a sparsely annotated dataset

  • Techniques for accuracy not compatible with computational cost balance.

Liewa et al. [118] (2021) Their approaches are robust enough to assist in CAD Their classification system can misclassify images taken by colonoscopy/endoscopy according to the structure and image color characteristics, which are naturally irregular in the colon.
Pacal et al. [20] (2020) Presented a comprehensive survey with all overviews. Their model did not determine a common experimental setup and evaluation criteria.
Sikder et al. [119] (2021)
  • The method is pointedly precise, supported, and practical.

  • Can detect malignant cells automatically.

  • Their collection gives high accuracy, particularly after performing the algorithm of ML.

  • For large datasets, the used algorithm showed high complexity time.

  • Low accuracy rate.

Kang et al. [104] (2019)
  • Used a strong object for detection CNN called Mask R-CNN.

  • Utilized a successful ensemble model for combining the two masked approaches of R-CNNs with various backbone structures.

  • Less backbone structures.

  • Less efficient segmentation,

  • However, the successful ensemble method should be used with backbone structures.

Sornapudi et al. [105] (2019)
  • Successful detection and accurately used the segmentation method.

  • The proposed approach showed better performance on the WCE video frames than images of colonoscopy.

  • Used the Etis-Larib dataset that does not produce efficient precision

  • Training data is not sufficient for an accurate model.

Jia et al., [112] (2020)
  • Improved the residual learning and the feature pyramids.

  • Developed the segmentation task of polyps.

  • Less stage integrations of PLPNet.

Zobel et al. [107] (2019)
  • Reduced the computation time.

  • Detected too many FB areas.

  • The small training database for training a Mask R-CNN with a ResNet-101 backbone.

Ma et al. [108] (2019)
  • Overcome the problems of overfitting and gradient vanishing.

  • Not enough images for a training model.

Shaban et al. [64] (2020)
  • Well-suited for the CRC staging task.

  • Not efficient for digital images at the whole-patch level for the analysis of patient survival.

Blanes-Vidal et al. [109] (2019)
  • The used algorithm was able to determine the polyps’ similarity and determine the degree that is related to how true a match is.

  • The used algorithm can be generalized.

  • High cost of information required on the location assessment and the polyp morphology.

  • The detection algorithm was not efficient with the number of used images.

Wang et al. [120] (2020)
  • Achieved the effect of an automatic detection system for polyps, which was dependent on the DL for the detection rate for polyps and ADR.

  • The proposed system may be difficult to evaluate.

  • Lack of external validity.

  • False-positives rates were low.

  • Fatigue level of participating endoscopies were not controlled for in this system, which considered this as an independent factor on ADR.

Mostafiz et al. [115] (2020)
  • Produce computer-aided system with great accuracy.

  • Small amount of FP and FN values.

Yuan et al. [111] (2019)
  • Model of DenseNet-UDCS was superior in accuracy of detection.

  • In the dataset, there are variances of small inter-class and unbalanced images and large intra-class differences.

Nadimi et al. [114] (2020)
  • The general rules are task-independent with less ambiguity for optimal feature selection.

  • Better results compared with other state-of-the-art detection of polyps by a wide margin.

  • Network predictions are given more interpretability.

  • Did not produce sufficient concrete interpretability.

Ozawa et al. [116] (2020)
  • Trained CNN presented a robust result for the detection and classification of CP.

  • This is retrospective research in a single association.
