Researchers have developed a novel framework for segmenting endoscopic lesions by fusing complementary white-light imaging (WLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI) data. This method addresses the challenge of spatial misalignment between WLI and NBI views, which can occur due to tissue deformation or sequential acquisition. The proposed approach establishes topology-regularized feature correspondence and identifies reliable cross-modal matches, enabling selective fusion of WLI and NBI features in a complex domain. This allows WLI to contribute appearance-related magnitude information and NBI to provide structure-sensitive phase information, ultimately improving lesion segmentation accuracy. AI
