Abstract: Methods for automated identification of vascular features are described. In some embodiments, one or more machine learning (ML)-based vascular classifiers are used, with their results being combined to with results of at least one other vascular classifier in order to produce the final results. Potentially advantages of this approach include the ability to combine certain strengths of ML classifiers with segmentation approaches based on more classical (“formula-based”) methods. These strengths may include particularly the identification of anatomically identified targets mixed within an image also showing similar looking but anatomically distinct targets.
