A Case Study

  • Book
  • © 2012

Overview

  • Introduces a new algorithm for color images segmentation, based on a hexagonal grid, with very good results
  • Covers a high number of experiments effectuated on a database with thousands of color medical images from digestive tract that are rarely used in medical annotation systems
  • Annotation system uses an object-oriented model of the medical images database

About this book

Creating New Medical Ontologies for Image Annotation focuses on the problem of the medical images automatic annotation process, which is solved in an original manner by the authors. All the steps of this process are described in detail with algorithms, experiments and results. The original algorithms proposed by authors are compared with other efficient similar algorithms.

In addition, the authors treat the problem of creating ontologies in an automatic way, starting from Medical Subject Headings (MESH). They have presented some efficient and relevant annotation models and also the basics of the annotation model used by the proposed system: Cross Media Relevance Models. Based on a text query the system will retrieve the images that contain objects described by the keywords.
