8. The method of claim 7 , wherein, prior to applying the subject image points to the trained classifier, the trained classifier was trained by applying the atlas data to the supervised machine learning algorithm.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the trained classifier was trained by defining the atlas data by selecting a subset of the points of the atlas images, and limiting the atlas data to the attribute data representative of the selected subset of atlas image points and the labels associated with the selected subset of the atlas image points.
