Wireless Video Capsule Endoscopy is a clinical technique consisting of the analysis of images from the intestine which are provided by an ingestible device with a camera attached to it. In this paper we propose an automatic system to diagnose severe intestinal motility disfunctions using the video endoscopy data. The system is based on the application of computer vision techniques within a machine learning framework in order to obtain the characterization of diverse motility events from video sequences. We present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system and compare them with the ground-truth provided by the gastroenterologists.
