Abstract
Machine learning is used to train a network to predict the location of an internal body marker from surface data. A depth image or other image of the surface of the patient is used to determine the locations of anatomical landmarks. The training may use a loss function that includes a term to limit failure to predict a landmark and/or off-centering of the landmark. The landmarks may then be used to configure medical scanning and/or for diagnosis.
