1. A radiation image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an object region extracting means that detects an amount of radiation energy transmitted through a object and extracts an object region where the object is radiographed for the radiation image corresponding to the amount of the detection; and
a contour recognizing means that recognizes a contour based on the object region extracted by the object region extracting means, wherein the contour recognizing means extracts a feature amount.

11. A radiation image processing apparatus, comprising:
-
a signal variance extracting means that detects an amount of radiation energy transmitted through an object and calculates a signal variance between an arbitrary pixel and neighboring pixels around the arbitrary pixel on the radiation image corresponding to an amount of the detection;
a pattern detecting means that detects one or plural patterns from spatial distribution and intensity distribution of the signal variances obtained by the signal variance extracting means; and
a feature amount extracting means that extracts a feature amount based on the pattern detected by the pattern detecting means. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
