Figure 3From: An artifacts removal post-processing for epiphyseal region-of-interest (EROI) localization in automated bone age assessment (BAA) Flow chart for the bounded area evaluation (BAE) algorithms. In this figure, the main structure of BAE algorithms is illustrated. The input image will undergo a region labeling process of eight connected pixels. After that an evaluation of boundary of each label cluster is performed. Two errors are expected to be found: the surrounded area represents the lost detail; the non-surrounded label represents noises and redundant information. The undesired noise will be eliminated while the lost detail will be recovered.Back to article page
