    Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer globally, with colonoscopy being the gold standard for detecting precancerous polyps.

  • 2

    The NICE classification categorizes polyps into three types based on vessels, surface patterns, and color, aiding in accurate diagnosis.

  • 3

    Deep learning methods, particularly convolutional neural networks, have improved polyp classification, addressing limitations of traditional handcrafted features.

  • 4

    This study proposes a unified framework for classifying polyp features, enhancing diagnostic decision-making by aligning with clinical criteria.

  • 5

    The model utilizes a ResNet-101 architecture to classify polyp features and includes an 'indistinguishable' label for low-quality frames.
