Automated Landmark Extraction in Digital Images - Performance Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we present an automated system for feature recognition in digital images. Such a system is very important for morphometric analysis as it will replace the time consuming and labour intensive process of manual identification. The analysis system is constructed from four key stages: a feature based detection of the fly wing structure, recording the compact invariant shape descriptors using the pairwise geometric histogram (PGH) representation, global estimation of the pose using the probabilistic Hough transform and finally a correlation based refinement of individual features. The performance of the system, its reliability and robustness are evaluated in comparison to the expert manual performance.

Novel Automated Method for Minirhizotron Image Analysis: Root Detection using Curvelet Transform
In this article a new method is introduced for distinguishing roots and background based on their digital curvelet transform in minirhizotron images. In the proposed method, the nonlinear mapping is applied on sub-band curvelet components followed by boundary detection using energy optimization concept. The curvelet transform has the excellent capability in detecting roots with different orient...

The main purpose of this paper is about the relative merits of automated feature detection protocols on cephalometricrelated digital radiology images. While the domain dependent techniques such as handcrafted masks are shown to be more accurate than pixel-based domain independent methods, the process for determining these shapes was unwieldy with respect to time taken and subjectivity. This pap...

Objective(s): Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination is commonly used for the evaluation of pulmonary nodules since it provides both anatomical and functional information. However, given the dependence of this evaluation on physician’s subjective judgment, the results could be variable. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated scheme for the classific...

متن کاملAutomatic Landmark Extraction using Self-Organising Maps
A large number of registration techniques rely on manually selected landmark points. A system based on neural principles has been developed to automatically extract landmark types and positional information from magnetic resonance images. A single self-organising map is used to develop the features (landmark types) so that the final landmarks represent statistically significant contour sections...
