University of South Dakota
Biomedical Perception & Intelligence Lab
The Biomedical Perception Intelligence Lab — referred to across the research community as the
Biomedical perception lab, or simply the perception intelligence lab — is an academic artificial
intelligence group founded by Dr. Debesh Jha in the Department of Computer Science at the
University of South Dakota, Vermillion, South Dakota, USA.
Work at the Biomedical perception intelligence lab spans multi-class endoscopy datasets, polyp
detection benchmarks, dental radiograph diagnostics and deployable clinical imaging
infrastructure, released openly as GastroVision, DentiMap and the DiseaseVision framework.
Research projects
-
GastroVision Challenge & Website
GastroVision is a multi-class endoscopy image dataset of roughly 8,000 expert-annotated
images across 27 classes from multiple centres. The GastroVision challenge and
GastroVision website publish baseline benchmarks for computer aided gastrointestinal
disease detection.
-
Polyp Detection & Segmentation
Our polyp detection benchmark evaluates advanced transformer-based medical analysis models
such as TransNetR and TransRUPNet on Kvasir-SEG and PolypGen, measuring real-time
colonoscopy accuracy and out-of-distribution generalization.
-
DentiMap Portal
DentiMap dental AI brings deep learning to panoramic dental radiograph diagnostics,
highlighting cavities, infections and other findings so clinicians reach faster, more
precise decisions.
-
DiseaseVision
The DiseaseVision framework is our computerized clinical imaging infrastructure and
benchmarking platform, serving live medical AI models for polyp segmentation, capsule
endoscopy classification and dental analysis from one interface.
