Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for selecting one or more regions of interest (ROIs) in an image. The method comprises: identifying one or more objects of interest that have been segmented from the image; identifying predefined landmarks of the objects; determining reference morphometrics pertaining to the objects by performing morphometrics on the objects by reference to the landmarks; selecting one or more ROIs from the objects according to the reference morphometrics, comprises identifying the location of the ROIs relative to the reference morphometrics; and outputting the selected one or more ROIs.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for selecting one or more regions of interest (ROIs) in an image, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more objects of interest that have been segmented from the image;
- identifying predefined landmarks of the objects;
- determining reference morphometrics pertaining to the objects by performing morphometrics on the objects by reference to the landmarks;
- selecting one or more ROIs from the objects according to the reference morphometrics, comprises identifying the location of the ROIs relative to the reference morphometrics;
- and
- outputting the selected one or more ROIs.
A system for selecting one or more regions of interest (ROIs) in an image, the system comprising:
- an object and landmark identifier configured to identify one or more objects of interest that have been segmented from the image, and to identify predefined landmarks of the objects;
- a morphometer configured to determine reference morphometrics pertaining to the objects by performing morphometrics on the objects by reference to the landmarks;
- a region selector configured to select one or more ROIs from the objects according to the reference morphometrics, comprising identifying the location of the ROIs and determining the shape and size of the ROIs relative to the reference morphometrics;
- and
- a results output configured to output the selected ROIs.
A system as claimed in claim 17, wherein the segmenter is further configured
- (a) to generate masks of the respective segmented objects;
- and/or
- (b) to employ one or more trained machine learning segmentation models to segment the objects.
