Abstract
A convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed in an automated feature and/or anomaly detection system for analyzing images provided by X-ray imaging system. The automated detection system operates in a manner that reduces the number of full-resolution CNN convolution layers required in order to speed up the network inference and learning processes for the detection system. To do so, the detection system utilizes as an input a more compact representation of the tomographic data to alleviate the CNN memory footprint and computation time issues in prior art X-ray systems.
