1. A method for anatomical object detection in a 3D medical image of a patient, comprising:
- receiving a 3D medical image of a patient including a target anatomical object; and
detecting a 3D pose of the target anatomical object in the 3D medical image in a series of marginal parameter spaces of increasing dimensionality using a respective trained sparse deep neural network for each of the marginal search spaces.

Abstract
A method and system for anatomical object detection using marginal space deep neural networks is disclosed. The pose parameter space for an anatomical object is divided into a series of marginal search spaces with increasing dimensionality. A respective sparse deep neural network is trained for each of the marginal search spaces, resulting in a series of trained sparse deep neural networks. Each of the trained sparse deep neural networks is trained by injecting sparsity into a deep neural network by removing filter weights of the deep neural network.
