Localizing Uterus Region from Low-Resolution Ultrasonography Device Using Template Matching Method

Abstract

Abstract-Template matching method is widely used in pattern recognition such as face recognition, a part of cases in image processing field. However, although this method is widely used in image processing field, it is usually applied to digital images that have enough resolution. This paper will discuss about using template matching to noisy digital images produced by low-resolution ultrasonography device, especially for localizing uterus region.

Brightness and Contrast Modification in Ultrasonography Images Using Edge Detection Results

“…Selection of template could be done based on shape and image degradation. Both variables could be evaluted by image histogram [28]. An example of determining uterus area in our experiment is shown in Figure 4. …”
