Fast colonic polyp detection using a Hamilton-Jacobi approach to non-dominated sorting.

•Multi-criteria similarity-based anomaly approach is proposed for colonic polyp detection.•Multiple criteria rely on color, shape, and texture features.•Hamilton–Jacobi reformulation of the anomaly approach provides the basis for real-time detection.•Extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the method.•Streaming data tests show the potential for a real-time and automatic detection.
