In this study, toward addressing the over-confident outputs of existing artificial intelligence-based colorectal cancer (CRC) polyp classification techniques, we propose a confidence-calibrated residual neural network. Utilizing a novel vision-based tactile sensing (VS-TS) system and unique CRC polyp phantoms, we demonstrate that traditional metrics such as accuracy and precision are not sufficient to encapsulate model performance for handling a sensitive CRC polyp diagnosis. To this end, we develop a residual neural network classifier and address its over-confident outputs for CRC polyps classification via the post-processing method of temperature scaling. To evaluate the proposed method, we introduce noise and blur to the obtained textural images of the VSTS and test the model's reliability for non-ideal inputs through reliability diagrams and other statistical metrics.
