METHOD FOR SPECKLE PATTERN FEATURE EXTRACTION FOR THE COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSIS OF ULTRASOUND IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for speckle pattern feature extraction for computer-aided diagnosis of an ultrasound image. The method for speckle pattern feature extraction for computer-aided diagnosis of an ultrasound image analyzes a speckle pattern of an ultrasound image to use the speckle pattern as a feature for computer-aided diagnosis, locally binarizes a patch image to extract speckles, and directly extracts shape features of the extracted speckles such as sizes, a number, and accumulated shape analysis of the speckles.
