and Structural European Funds (FEEI)- Programa Operacional Regional do 
Centro and National Funds (FCT) under the research project*nº.

DETECTION OF ABNORMALITIES*.**

*Regulation*

·Decree-Law nr 57/2016, from 29^th August, altered by Law nr 57/2017, 
from 19^th July, that approves a Doctoral Hiring regime to stimulate 
Scientific and Technological Employment in all knowledge areas (RJEC).

its current writing.

·Regulatory Decree Nr 11-A / 2017, of 29^th December.

1.*Goals and research topics to develop: *This project aims to 
investigate and develop localization methods for endoscopy capsules, and 
also to develop methods for the detection of abnormalities. Despite the 
important medical benefits of wireless capsule endoscopy, one biggest 
drawback of this technology is the impossibility of knowing the WCE 
precise location when an abnormality is detected in the WCE video. An 
accurate estimate of the WCE location together with the location of one 
of reference points (e.g. pylorus or ileocecal valve) would be medically 
extremely useful, since it would permit to measure the distance from the 
reference point to the capsule. The goals of this project are threefold. 
The primary goal is to devise techniques for determining the location of 
the wireless capsule inside the GI tract. As the main objective of a 
wireless capsule video examination consists in searching for abnormal 
features in the images, the secondary goal of this project is automatic 
detection of different and medical relevant abnormalities in wireless 
capsule images. The third goal is a consequence of the previous two and 
aims at defining computer-aided medical systems for diagnosis.

The project team is made up of people from the Institute of Systems and 
Robotics of Coimbra (Proponent), and the University of Coimbra.

2.*Members of the Jury: *According to article nr 13 from RJEC, the jury 
is composed by Helder Araújo (President of the jury and Principal 
Investigator of the Project), Isabel Figueiredo (Co-Responsible for the 
Project, Department of Mathematics) and Jorge Batista(Faculty of Medicine).

January 2021 and it ends when the purpose of this contract ends. The 
activities will be developed at ISR-Coimbra facilities (Pole II).

4.*Monthly remuneration*: Gross monthly Remuneration is 2.134,73€, in
