Embodiments for automatically finding a standard view corresponding to an acquired ultrasound image of a target object in an ultrasound system (100) are disclosed. A mapping table associating information on a plurality of standard views of a target object with predetermined first feature vectors is stored in the storage unit (110). The predetermined first feature vectors may be previously calculated from the typical plane images corresponding to the standard views. A processing unit (140) calculates a second feature vector form an acquired ultrasound image, and refers to the mapping table to select one of the first feature vectors closest to the second feature vector. The processing unit (140) extracts information on the standard view corresponding to the selected first feature vector from the mapping table. |
