1. A method for recognizing the projection view of radiographs, comprise the steps carried out by a programmable digital computer of: accessing an input radiograph; preprocessing said input radiograph to extract the anatomy of the radiograph: correcting the orientation of the radiograph; extracting a region of interest from said anatomy of the radiograph; computing projection view sensitive features from the region of interest: and recognizing the projection view of the radiograph, based on said projection view sensitive features, using a set of pretrained classifiers.
