description <h3>Objective</h3><p dir="ltr">To develop and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm for capturing automated measurements of Penile curvature (PC) based on 2-dimensional images.</p><h3>Materials and methods</h3><p dir="ltr">Nine 3D-printed penile models with differing curvature angles (ranging from 18 to 88°) were used to compile a 900-image dataset featuring multiple camera positions, inclination angles, and background/lighting conditions. The proposed framework of PC angle estimation consisted of three stages: automatic penile area localization, shaft segmentation, and curvature angle estimation. The penile model images were captured using a smartphone camera and used to train and test a Yolov5 model that automatically cropped the penile area from each image. Next, an Unet-based segmentation model was trained, validated, and tested to segment the penile shaft, before a custom Hough-Transform-based angle estimation technique was used to evaluate degree of PC.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The proposed framework displayed robust performance in cropping the penile area [mean average precision (mAP) 99.4%] and segmenting the shaft [Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) 98.4%]. Curvature angle estimation technique generally demonstrated excellent performance, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of just 8.5 when compared with ground truth curvature angles.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">Considering current intra- and inter-surgeon variability of PC assessments, the framework reported here could significantly improve precision of PC measurements by surgeons and hypospadiology researchers.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/frai.2022.954497" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.3389/frai.2022.954497</a></p>
