Abstract

Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) enables non-invasive visualization of the gastrointestinal tract, but its miniaturized optics, sensor limitations, and wireless transmission constraints result in low-resolution images with reduced visibility of diagnostically important structures. This paper proposes CEM-TUDASR, a computationally efficient unsupervised Transformer-based super-resolution framework for WCE image enhancement without paired low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) training data. A domain-adaptive degradation network synthesizes realistic WCE-like LR images from HR conventional endoscopy images, reducing the domain gap and enabling effective unpaired learning. The SR generator integrates Deep Attention Blocks (DABs) and a Fusion Attention Block (FAB) to capture long-range contextual dependencies and fine local structures while preserving perceptual and structural fidelity. The model is trained on a curated dataset derived from Kvasir Capsule and evaluated on KID and GIANA for cross-dataset generalization. No-reference quality metrics, including BRISQUE, PIQE, NIQE, and the domain-specific EndoQM, show that CEM-TUDASR consistently outperforms existing unsupervised SR methods. Qualitative results further demonstrate improved restoration of mucosal textures, vascular patterns, and clinically relevant anatomical details. Cross-domain experiments on retinal images additionally demonstrate the adaptability of the framework. With only 2.67 million parameters and 169.94 GFLOPs, CEM-TUDASR achieves high-quality reconstruction while maintaining computational efficiency, making it suitable for resource-constrained clinical and embedded endoscopic applications.
