Detection-Gated Glottal Segmentation with Zero-Shot Cross-Dataset Transfer and Clinical Feature Extraction

Researchers developed a detection-gated AI pipeline combining YOLOv8 and U-Net for accurate glottal segmentation in medical videoendoscopy. The system achieved state-of-the-art performance with zero-shot transfer capabilities across different clinical datasets, enabling real-time extraction of vocal function biomarkers at 35 frames per second.
