A lung lobe contour extraction method aiming at DR radiography, which includes the steps: Obtain the representative lung lobe contour template through offline training; initialize the extraction system of contour lobe area in the chest DR radiography; According to dimension of DICOM image, conduct three-layer pyramid decomposition on the images; Use Gabor filter bank to rebuild pending images; Convert residual error of the rebuilt image by the Gabor filter into black and white image; Use Zhan-Suen refinement algorithm to refine the black and white image; Call every template of the offline training and use them as the convolution kernel operator, conduct convolution on the contour imagep; Filter the local optimum convolution value with optimum possibility from the convolution results and combine the evaluations; Generate the lung lobe contour shape in accordance with the upper and lower templates of optimum matching and its position.
