The ‘wireless capsule’ is a tiny disposable video camera thattransmits 2 ~ 3 frames per second for a period of 8 ~ 11 hours. There are open problems in WCE,such as bleeding detection, as it is hard to identify accurately, using low-level features, i.e

Calculations allowfor symbolic and numerical results. Computer simulation of a system is represented as the running of the system'smodel. Experimentation allows for the realization and verification of the results obtained earlier by the previousthree methods, for a real system.In this work we propose the integration of the lecture with calculations, simulations, and experimentation in order toensure that the subject matter under consideration is fully comprehended, investigated, and understood.
