    摘要: A system and method for determining the presence or absence of candidate objects in a digital image by computing a gradient field of the digital image and then applying predetermined filters to the gradient field to obtain a response image which can be further processed to detect the objects. The application of these filters to the digital image can be performed by convolution and the filters can be adapted based on the shape of the object to be searched.

    摘要: A method and device for segmenting one or more candidates in an image having image elements is disclosed. The method includes identifying a location for one of the candidates in the image, where the location is based at a given image element, and computing one or more response values at neighboring image elements that are in a neighborhood of the location. Image element clusters are created from the computed response values and one or more of the image element clusters are selected as object segmentations for one or more of the candidates.

    摘要: A method for detecting lymph nodes in a medical image includes receiving image data. One or more regions of interest are detected from within the received image data. One or more lymph node candidates are identified using a set of predefined parameters that is particular to the detected region of interest where each lymph node candidate is located. The identifying unit may identify the one or more lymph node candidates by performing DGFR processing. The method may also include receiving user-provided adjustments to the predefined parameters that are particular to the detected regions of interest and identifying the lymph node candidates based on the adjusted parameters. The lymph node candidates identified based on the adjusted parameters may be displayed along with the image data in real-time as the adjustments are provided.
