| Abstract | The scoliosis diagnosing system needs radio-graphic information in terms of spinal curvature estimated using Cobb’s definition. The evaluation process and treatment analysis depends on the reliability and reproducibility of the spine curvature in the frontal view.Manual identification of end vertebrae and other anatomical features required for the estimation of spinal curvature causes variability and unreliability at higher rate. This paper proposes an automated system to extract the required anatomical features using customized filter. The customized filter used in this paper is a combination of anisotropic, sigmoid and differential filter. Combination of these filters automatically extracts the anatomical features in terms of required vertebral endplates. Automatic identification of these endplates eliminates the human intervention involved in the quantification of Cobb angle.Analysis of the results reveals significant difference between the observer variability between manual, computer assisted and computerized image understanding system in terms of inter and intra cross correlation coefficient ratio (ICCR). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
