Segmentation of fetal 3D ultrasound based on statistical prior and deformable model
A statistical variational framework is proposed for the fetus and uterus segmentation in ultrasound images. The Rayleigh and exponential distributions are used to model the pixel intensity. An energy is derived to perform an optimal partition of the 3D data into two classes corresponding to these two distributions, in a …
