Abstract
A method for categorizing and adjusting an orientation of a clinical image is implemented using a system that includes a categorization module and a plurality of orientation modules. The method includes: in response to receipt of the clinical image, performing, by the categorization module, a categorization operation so as to categorize the clinical image into one of a plurality of predetermined categories; transmitting the clinical image to a corresponding one of the plurality of orientation modules based on a result of the categorization operation; and performing, by the corresponding one of the plurality of orientation modules, an orientation adjusting operation for adjusting the orientation of the clinical image. For a clinical image that is a facial image and for a clinical image that is an intra-oral image, different orientation adjusting operations may be performed, so as to generate an adjusted image that is properly oriented.
