用YOLOv11检测结肠镜图像中的息肉，提升早期癌症筛查效率。

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers all over the world. It starts as a polyp in the inner lining of the colon. To prevent CRC, early polyp detection is required. Colonosopy is used for the inspection of the colon. Generally, the images taken by the camera placed at the tip of the endoscope are analyzed by the experts manually. Various traditional machine learning models have been used with the rise of machine learning. Recently, deep learning models have shown more effectiveness in polyp detection due to their superiority in generalizing and learning small features. These deep learning models for object detection can be segregated into two different types: single-stage and two-stage. Generally, two stage models have higher accuracy than single stage ones but the single stage models have low inference time. Hence, single stage models are easy to use for quick object detection. YOLO is one of the singlestage models used successfully for polyp detection. It has drawn the attention of researchers because of its lower inference time. The researchers have used Different versions of YOLO so far, and with each newer version, the accuracy of the model is increasing. This paper aims to see the effectiveness of the recently released YOLOv11 to detect polyp. We analyzed the performance for all five models of YOLOv11 (YOLO11n, YOLO11s, YOLO11m, YOLO11l, YOLO11x) with Kvasir dataset for the training and testing. Two different versions of the dataset were used. The first consisted of the original dataset, and the other was created using augmentation techniques. The performance of all the models with these two versions of the dataset have been analysed.
