Anatomical Sketch Understanding: Recognizing Explicit and Implicit Structure

摘要: Sketching is ubiquitous in medicine. Physicians commonly use sketches as part of their note taking patient records and to help convey diagnoses treatments patients. Medical students frequently them think through clinical problems individual group problem solving. Applications ranging from automated medical education software could benefit greatly the richer more natural interfaces that would be enabled by ability understand sketches. In this paper we take first steps toward developing a system can anatomical Understanding an sketch requires recognize what structure has been sketched view (e.g. parietal brain), well identify parts locations even if they have not explicitly drawn. We present novel algorithms for recognition identification. evaluate accuracy algorithm on obtained students. identification comparing its results judgment experienced physician.
