Stud Health Technol Inform. 2015; 210:399-4030926-9630http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1989Journal Article;This paper addresses a fully automatic landmarks detection method for breast reconstruction aesthetic assessment. The set of landmarks detected are the supraesternal notch (SSN), armpits, nipples, and inframammary fold (IMF). These landmarks are commonly used in order to perform anthropometric measurements for aesthetic assessment. The methodological approach is based on both illumination and morphological analysis. The proposed method has been tested with 21 images. A good overall performance is observed, although several improvements must be achieved in order to refine the detection of nipples and SSNs.enAnatomic LandmarksBreast ReconstructionOutcome AssessmentComputer-Assisted Image ProcessingPuntos Anatómicos de ReferenciaMamoplastiaEstéticaMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Body Regions::Extremities::Upper Extremity::AxillaMedical Subject Headings::Psychiatry and Psychology::Psychological Phenomena and Processes::Mental Processes::Thinking::EstheticsMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Physical Phenomena::Magnetic Phenomena::Electromagnetic Phenomena::Electromagnetic Radiation::LightMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Environment::Environment, Controlled::LightingMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Cosmetic Techniques::MammaplastyMedical Subject Headings::Anatomy::Body Regions::Breast::Nipplesresearch article25991174open access10.3233/978-1-61499-512-8-399
