Model Based Radiographic Image Classification This method implements an object oriented knowledge representation to automatically determines the body part class of a radiographic image. The reasoning unit estimates the most probable body part class based on class knowledge model. The model includes both objects and their spatial relationships.
Object Oriented Knowledge Model
Pelvis Radiograph and Model
Key Components of Pelvis Model
Pelvis Class Model
