Abstract:
Disclosed are Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) apparatus and method to combine information on sequential image frames and to provide a superior classification result for the ROI in the image frame. The CAD apparatus may include a Region of Interest (ROI) detector configured to detect an ROI from image frames, a categorizer configured to create groups of image frames having successive ROI sections from among the image frames based on a result of the detection, a classifier configured to classify an ROI detected from each of the image frames belonging to the groups, and a result combiner configured to combine classification results for the image frames belonging to each group from the groups and to calculate a group result for the each group.

Claim (Index 1):
A Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) apparatus comprising:\n a display; a memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor, upon executing the stored instructions, configured to:\n detect a Region of Interest (ROI) from a plurality of image frames, \n generate at least one group of image frames based on a result of the detection, wherein the at least one group comprises image frames in which the ROI is detected, from among the plurality of image frames, \n extract a value from at least one of a contour of the ROI comprised in the image frames, an area adjacent to the contour, or pixels inside the contour, \n classify the ROI comprised in each of the image frames belonging to the at least one group by comparing the extracted value with a pre-stored criteria, \n determine a group result for the each group based on a plurality of classification results for the image frames belonging to the each group, and \n control the display to display the group result on a screen.
