---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------1.1 HOOKWORM Abstract - An ulcer is a discontinuity or breaks in a bodily membrane that impedes the organ of which that membrane is a part of continuing its normal functions. Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is a radical, patient-friendly imaging system that aids non-invasive photographic review of the patient’s digestive tract and, especially, small intestine. However, reviewing the endoscopic data is time-consuming and requires the intense labor of highly experienced physicians. In proposed method, a novel multi-level super pixel based image segmentation is used. After that, a particle swarm optimization using color and texture based features are extracted to diagnosis the disease.

Hookworms are parasites that affect your lungs and small intestine. Humans contract hookworms through roundworm eggs and larvae found in dirt contaminated by faeces. The larvae enter your skin, travel through your bloodstream, and enter your lungs. They also travel through your windpipe and are carried to your small intestine when you swallow. SYMPTOMS:  Abdominal pain  Intestinal cramps  Nausea  Fever  Blood in your stool

Key Words: WCE (Wireless Capsule Endoscopy), Endoscopic, Super-Pixel, Segmentation, PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)

1.INTRODUCTION Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), also identified as a peptic ulcer or stomach ulcer, is a chink in the stomach, first part of the small intestine, or sometimes the lower esophagus. The most common symptoms are waking from sleep with upper abdominal pain that can be reduced by eating. The ache is often explained as a burning or dull ache. Other symptoms include belching, vomiting, weight loss or poor appetite. About a third of older people have no symptoms. Complications may include bleeding, perforation and blockage of the stomach. Bleeding occurs in as many as 15% of people. Identification and treatment will depend on your symptoms and the sternness of your ulcer. To diagnose a stomach ulcer, the doctor will check the medical history along with the symptoms and any prescription or over-thecounter medications taken. In a breath test, you’ll be instructed to drink a clear liquid and breathe into a bag, which is then sealed. Tests and procedure used to diagnose stomach ulcers also include:  Barium X-Ray  Endoscopy  Endoscopy biopsy

Fig: Hookworm 2. METHODOLOGY Endoscopy constitutes the most common approach for diagnosing gastrointestinal (GI) tract related diseases. Traditional endoscopy techniques play an important role to the examination of the upper and lower ends of the GI tract. However, these techniques, apart from being highly inconvenient for the patients, can hardly reach the main part of GI, the small bowel, due to its 7m-length and numerous windings. The solution to this limitation is the recently established WCE. WCE has marked a revolution in the field of GI imaging, beginning an era of non-invasive visualization of the GI tract and, especially, the entire small bowel. One of the most common GI medical findings efficiently detected by WCE is an ulcer. Approximately 10% of the people suffer from ulcerations. The main disadvantage of WCE is the timeconsuming task of reviewing the 55.000 images produced.
