ABSTRACT:
The body part classification of a radiographic image is a key component of systems that produce an optimal tone scale curve for either hard copy or soft copy presentation. A method automatically determines the body part class based on a subset of relevant features and a probabilistic reasoning unit (PRU). The reasoning unit estimates the most probable body part class based on probabilistic information that associates a given class with the joint probability of the detection of a subset of features and their spatial relationships.
