Automatic spinal deformity detection based on neural network

We propose a technique for automatic spinal deformity detection method from moiré topographic images. Normally the moiré stripes show a symmetric pattern, as a human body is almost symmetric. According to the progress of the deformity of a spine, asymmetry becomes larger. Numerical representation...
