US Patent 11790297 Model-assisted annotating system and methods for use therewith

A model-assisted annotating system is operable to receive a first set of annotation data, corresponding to a broad type of annotation data output. A first training step is performed to train a computer vision model using the first set of annotation data. A second set of annotation data corresponding to the broad type of annotation data output is generated performing an inference function utilizing the computer vision model on medical scans. Additional annotation data further specifies the broad type of annotation data output is received. A second training step is performed to generate an updated computer vision model using set of additional annotation data. A third set of annotation data corresponding to the specified type of annotation data output is generated by performing an updated inference function utilizing the updated computer vision model on medical scans.
