Automatic Identification System for Morphometric Landmarks

Environment Identification by Comparing Maps of Landmarks

This paper describes a method for identifying an environment a robot is operating in by comparing the geometry of landmarks of a map the robot is currently building with a set of previously created maps. Landmark maps are created using the stochastic map approach originally presented by Smith, Self and Cheeseman [12]. The paper provides a method for measuring the similarity of such maps and pre...

Automatic computerized radiographic identification of cephalometric landmarks.

Computerized cephalometric analysis currently requires manual identification of landmark locations. This process is time-consuming and limited in accuracy. The purpose of this study was to develop and test a novel method for automatic computer identification of cephalometric landmarks. Spatial spectroscopy (SS) is a computerized method that identifies image structure on the basis of a convoluti...

Identification of the mandibular landmarks in a pediatric population

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine and compare the reliability to accomplish of common mandibular landmarks and to determine the incidence of incisive canals, anterior looping, and lingual foramina in children from panoramic and CBCT images. DESIGN Panoramic and CBCT images from 100 children and adolescent patients were randomly selected. In order to grade the visibility of mand...

Robust Identification of Face Landmarks in Profile Images

Identifying landmark points in facial images is a very important task in computer vision and has several applications. Here we present a fast and robust algorithm capable of identifying a specific set of landmarks on face profile images. The algorithm is based on the local curvature of the profile contour and on the local analysis of the face features. In order to validate the approach, the alg...
