This study proposes a novel diagnosis framework to decrease the early detection miss rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) polyps by using a hypersensitive vision-based tactile sensor (HySenSe) and a deep residual neural network. The HySenSe generates high-resolution 3D textural images of 160 realistic polyp phantoms for accurate classification via the proposed deep learning (DL) architecture. The DL mo...
