Optimal Embedding for Shape Indexing in Medical Image Databases
Fast retrieval using organ shapes is crucial in medical image databases since shape is a clinically prominent feature. In this paper, we propose that 2-D shapes in medical image databases can be indexed by embedding them into a vector space and using efficient vector space indexing. An optimal shape space embedding is proposed for this purpose. Experimental results of indexing vertebral shapes ...
متن کاملSpatial Lesion Indexing for Medical Image Databases Using Force Histograms
It is often diÆcult to come up with a well-principled approach to the selection of a spatial indexing mechanism for medical image databases. Spatial information about lesions in medical images is critically important in disease diagnosis and plays an important role in image retrieval. Unfortunately, the images are rarely indexed properly for clinically useful retrieval. One example is the well-...
متن کاملShape-based Retrieval in Medical Image Databases Using Kd-trees. Shape-based Retrieval in Medical Image Databases Using Kd-trees
The capacity to retrieve images containing objects with shapes similar to a query shape is desirable in medical image databases. We propose a similarity measure and an indexing mechanism for non-rigid comparison of shape which adds this capability to image databases. The (dis-) similarity measure is based on the observations that, (1) the geometry of the same organ in diier-ent subjects is not ...
متن کاملShape Retrieval from Image Databases through Structural Feature Indexing
Efficient and robust information retrieval from large image databases is an essential functionality for the reuse, manipulation, and editing of multimedia documents. Structural feature indexing is a potential approach to efficient shape retrieval from large databases, but it is sensitive to noise, scales of observation, and local shape deformations. To improve the robustness, shape feature gene...
متن کاملShape-Based Indexing in a Medical Image Database
In this work, we report on a prototype of a clinical radiograph image database to be indexed by image content. The underlying content-based search engine is based on the modal shape description method for characterizing the shape of a 2-D image region [24]. Using a similarity metric defined in a modal vector space, our system successfully classified radiographic images according to the dental p...
