Abstract: A computer-implemented method for estimating cartilage includes pre-processing, via a processor, a segmented image of region of interests (ROIs) of a subject to separate the ROIs into individual ROI volumes, wherein the ROI volumes comprise at least one cartilage region. The computer-implemented method also includes performing, via the processor, surface separation between a respective subchondral surface and a respective articular surface for each ROI volume to extract a respective separate subchondral surface and a respective separate articular surface for each ROI volume. The computer-implemented method further includes estimating, via the processor, cartilage statistics for the at least one cartilage region utilizing a nearest neighbor algorithm based on the respective separate subchondral surface and the respective separate articular surface for each ROI volume.
