Abstract

Systems, methods, and media for detecting an anatomical object in a medical device image are provided. In some embodiments, system for detecting an anatomical object in a medical device image are provided, the systems comprising: at least one hardware processor that: applies the medical device image to a classifier having a plurality of stages, wherein a first stage of the plurality of stages and a second stage of the plurality of stages each includes a strong learner formed from a plurality of weak learners, and the weak learners in the second stage include a plurality of the weak learners included in the first stage; and identifies the medical device image as being positive or negative of showing the anatomical object based on the application the medical device image to be classifier.
