The goal of endoscopic analysis is to find abnormal lesions and determine further therapy from the obtained information. However, the procedure produces a variety of non-informative frames and lesions can be missed due to poor video quality. Especially when analyzing entire endoscopic videos made by non-expert endoscopists, informative frame classification is crucial to e.g. video quality grading. This work concentrates on the design of an automated indication of informativeness of video frames. We propose an algorithm consisting of state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, to initialize frame-based classification, followed by a hidden Markov model to incorporate temporal information and control consistent decision making. Results from the performed experiments show that the proposed model improves on the state-of-the-art with an F1-score of 91%, and a substantial increase in sensitivity of 10%. Additionally, the algorithm is capable of processing 261 frames per second.
