| contents | Objective: The validity of objective measures derived from high-speed videoendoscopy (HSV) depends, among other factors, on the validity of spatial segmentation. Evaluation of the validity of spatial segmentation requires the existence of reliable ground truths. This study presents a framework for creating reliable ground truth with sub-pixel resolution and then evaluates its performance. Method: The proposed framework is a three-stage process. First, three laryngeal imaging experts performed the spatial segmentation task. Second, regions with high discrepancies between experts were determined and then overlaid onto the segmentation outcomes of each expert. The marked HSV frames from each expert were randomly assigned to the two remaining experts, and they were tasked to make proper adjustments and modifications to the initial segmentation within disparity regions. Third, the outcomes of this reconciliation phase were analyzed again and regions with continued high discrepancies were identified and adjusted based on the consensus among the three experts. This three-stage framework was tested using a custom graphical user interface that allowed precise piece-wise linear segmentation of the vocal fold edges. Inter-rate reliability of segmentation was evaluated using 12 HSV recordings. 10% of the frames from each HSV file were randomly selected to assess the intra-rater reliability. Result and conclusion: The reliability of spatial segmentation progressively improved as it went through the three stages of the framework. The proposed framework generated highly reliable and valid ground truths for evaluating the validity of automated spatial segmentation methods. |
