Irradiation field extracting method and apparatus and recording medium

摘要

It is an object to enable an irradiation field to be accurately extracted. An irradiation field extracting method of extracting an irradiation field from a radiation image is constructed by a step of extracting characteristic points in the radiation image by using geometric patterns for detecting an irradiation field edge and a step of detecting an edge portion of the irradiation field on the basis of the characteristic points.
