Described herein is a framework for automatically classifying a structure in digital image data are described herein. In one implementation, a first set of features is extracted from digital image data, and used to learn a discriminative model. The discriminative model may be associated with at least one conditional probability of a class label given an image data observation Based on the conditional probability, at least one likelihood measure of the structure co-occurring with another structure in the same sub-volume of the digital image data is determined. A second set of features may then be extracted from the likelihood measure. |
