Project Description
The Chest Imaging Platform provides automatic tools for lung lobe segmentation. These rely in part on detecting pulmonary fissures, which can be difficult due to poor signal-to-noise ratios and/or lung pathologies.
Objective
- Use positive and negative examples of fissures to train a classifier that can be used to detect/enhance fissures
Approach, Plan
- Guided by approach described in van Rikxoort et al: 'Supervised enhancement filters: application to fissure detection in chest CT scans'
- Use itkDiscreteHessianGaussianImageFunction and itkDiscreteGaussianDerivativeImageFunction for point-wise computation of Hessian and gradient features
- Use logistic regression as classifier. Investigate different feature subsets for best classification results.
Progress
- Early experiments are promising. Would like to speed up gradient and Hessian computations.
- Results: Increased itkDiscreteHessianGaussianImageFunction and itkDiscreteGaussianDerivativeImageFunction max error parameter from 0.01 to 0.5. Noticed a factor of ten speed-up with negligible impact on logistic regression classifier
