METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING MID-SAGITTAL PLANE BY USING ULTRASOUND IMAGE AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for automatically detecting a mid-sagittal plane by using an ultrasound image, the method comprising the steps of : acquiring at least one ultrasound image for detecting a mid-sagittal plane; detecting the face of an object from the ultrasound image; detecting at least one landmark from the detected face; detecting landmark information including the brightness and/or shape of the detected landmark; and detecting a mid-sagittal plane of the object from at least one ultrasound image by using the landmark information.
