SIMULTANEOUS DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF BONE FRACTURES USING DEFORMATION MODELLING IN MODEL-BASED SEGMENTATION

摘要

System and related method for image processing. The system comprises an input (IN) interface for receiving an in input image. A segmentor (SEG) performs a segmentation operation to segment the input image for one or more objects. The segmentor applies, in an activation pattern, shape mode operators (Dj) to deform a shape prior. A classifier (CL) classifies the one or one more objects based on the activation pattern to obtain a classification result. The system may be used with benefit to classify for bone fracture types.
