ABSTRACT:
A computerized method of detecting regions of interest in a digital image optimizes and adapts a computer aided scheme for detecting regions of interest in images. The optimization is based on global image characteristics. For each image in a database of images having known regions of interest, global image features are measured and an image characteristic index is established based on these global image features. All the images in the database are divided into a number of image groups based on the image characteristic index of each image in the database and the CAD scheme is optimized for each image group. Once the CAD scheme is optimized, to process a digital image, an image characteristics based classification criteria is established for that image, and then global image features of the digitized image are determined. The digitized image is then assigned an image characteristics rating based on the determined global image features, and the image is assigned to an image group based on the image rating. Then regions of interest depicted in the image are determined using a detection scheme adapted for the assigned image group.
