Content Based Image Retrieval: Bone Age Assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone age assessment using a hand radiograph is an important clinical tool in the area of paediatrics, especially in relation to endocrinological problems and growth disorders. This paper proposes Standard Deviation based skeletal Bone Age Assessment based on features extracted from phalanx. The system works according to the renowned Tanner and Whitehouse method based on the Phalanx Region of Interest. The system ensures accurate and robust bone age assessment of children between the age group 0-10 years. The proposed work focuses on pre-processing stage in which cropping the phalanx ROI from the input image by followed by filter is done. This follows morphological feature extraction during which three geometric features are extracted, one from each of the phalanx leading to a set of 14 features. The extracted features are used to train the system in the beginning till end to estimate the bone age. The system is tested on a set of radiographs and the results are discussed.

Image retrieval using the combination of text-based and content-based algorithms
Image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. In this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. For text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. Query in this system contains some keywords and an input...
متن کاملBone Age Assessment by Content-Based Image Retrieval and Case-Based Reasoning
Skeletal maturity is assessed visually by comparing hand radiographs to a standardized reference image atlas. Most common are the methods by Greulich & Pyle and Tanner & Whitehouse. For computer-aided diagnosis (CAD), local image regions of interest (ROI) such as the epiphysis or the carpal areas are extracted and evaluated. Heuristic approaches trying to automatically extract, measure and clas...

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...
