Abstract

A medical endoscope image recognition method is provided. In the method, endoscope images are received from a medical endoscope. The endoscope images are filtered with a neural network, to obtain target endoscope images. Organ information corresponding to the target endoscope images is recognized via the neural network. An imaging type of the target endoscope images is identified according to the corresponding organ information with a classification network. A lesion region in the target endoscope images is localized according to an organ part indicated by the organ information. A lesion category of the lesion region in an image capture mode of the medical endoscope corresponding to the imaging type is identified.
