Resumen

Descripción

The following paper presents the main results of an exploratory research oriented to design and implementation of a pattern recognition system for flatfoot identification in children between 5 and 6 years. Patterns were determined from texture analysis of foot thermographic images, and from contour analysis of footprint images. For each case, an artificial neuronal network was trained, with base in a back propagation algorithm. In each trial, 70% of data were used for training, and 30% for validation.  For experiments done, success rates greater than 80% were achieved. The best results was reached with contour patterns reduced by PCA, in a binary system, with a success rate of 90.84% in cross validation. Results are a contribution to study of diagnostic techniques for flatfoot treatment through use of technologic tools.

Patterns were determined from texture analysis of foot thermographic images, and from contour analysis of footprint images. For each case, an artificial neuronal network was trained, with base in a back-propagation algorithm. In each trial, 70 % of data were used for training, and 30 % for validation. For experiments done, success rates greater than 80 % were achieved. The best results were reached with contour patterns reduced by principal components analysis, PCA, in a binary system, with a success rate of 90.84 % in cross-validation. Results are a contribution to the study of diagnostic techniques for flatfoot treatment through the use of technologic tools.
