Abstract: A method for providing a next clock edge value calculation includes obtaining a clock file data, calculating a next clock edge value using the clock file data, and generating an output file using the next clock edge value. A method for providing an nth clock edge value calculation includes obtaining a clock file data and an n value calculating an nth clock edge value using the clock file data and the n value, and generating an output file using the nth clock edge value.

Abstract: An automatic segmentation module with an open architecture that automatically generates a contour of a target bone based on a digital image. In one embodiment, the digital image can include an extremity, such as a hand with three digits and a calibration wedge. The automatic segmentation module receives the digital image as an input, and automatically segments the target bone by utilizing an object-oriented approach. This approach extracts intermediate target objects and uses these intermediate target objects to refine or limit the search space in order to extract the final target object.
