DUCK-Net results with training on the ETIS-LaribPolypDB dataset
| Dataset | Dice 17 | mIoU 17 | Dice 34 | mIoU 34 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVC-300 | 0.1246 | 0.0665 | 0.2995 | 0.1761 |
| CVC-ClinicDB | 0.3518 | 0.2134 | 0.4310 | 0.2747 |
| CVC-ColonDB | 0.2517 | 0.1440 | 0.2902 | 0.1698 |
| Kvasir | 0.5261 | 0.3570 | 0.6537 | 0.4855 |
17 and 34 refer to the number of filters incorporated in the models: A model with 17 filters is identified as an optimal smaller model, whereas a model with 34 filters effectively represents a larger model. mIoU: mean Intersection over Union
We extend our gratitude to all partners and collaborators who contributed to the successful implementation and validation of the proposed system, including Key To Business, Department of Neurosciences – Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, and Studio5T.

The dataset used in this study is derived from publicly available sources cited in the manuscript. The details of each dataset are as follows: (1) Kvasir-SEG: Simula Datasets - Kvasir SEG; (2) CVC-ClinicDB: Simula Datasets - Kvasir SEG; (3) ETIS-LaribPolypDB: ETIS-LaribPolypDB; (4) PolypGen: Simula Datasets - Kvasir SEG; (5) CVC-ColonDB: CVC colon DB | Visual Interaction Group; (6) CVC-300: CVC-300; (7) PolypDataset-TCNoEndo: An augmented version of Kvasir-SEG. These datasets were selected to ensure a diverse and representative collection of polyp appearances, enhancing model generalization and robustness for real-world clinical applications. However, due to current project constraints, the integrated dataset cannot be openly released at this time. Access may be granted upon reasonable request and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
This project has been co-financed by the European Union through the PR FESR 2021–2027 RSI program of Regione Lazio, managed by LazioInnova [CUP F89J23001090007], and approved with the publication of the rankings related to the public notice “Riposizionamento competitivo RSI PR FESR 2021–2027 Regione Lazio” in the BUR on 21/11/2023. The authors would like to thank the European Union and Regione Lazio for their support in enabling this research. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
