Manual cephalogram marking has long way from marking on tracing sheet to availability of commercial software's for cephalometric analysis. With the effort involved in manual marking and time consumption, it becomes imperative for modern science to envisage algorithms which could automatically locate landmarks on the cephalogram images and perform various analysis. In this work, we herby propose...
