Automated frame feature detection in frame matching process using machine learning

Abstract

An automatic feature matching system for orthopedic fixators includes a frame generator, an artificial X-ray generator, a neural network trainer using neural network training data. The frame generator is configured to generate a simulation of an orthopedic fixator system. The artificial X-ray generator is configured to generate a plurality of artificial X-ray images including the generated simulation of the orthopedic fixator system in the plurality of artificial X-ray image, wherein the plurality of artificial X-ray images are labelled. The neural network training data includes the plurality of labelled artificial X-ray images. The neural network trainer is configured to be trained based on the plurality of labelled artificial X-ray images. The neural network trainer is configured to generate a frame detection neural network that is configured to detect orthopedic fixator system features in real X-ray images input into the frame detection neural network.
