ON APPLICATION OF WAVELET TRANSFORMS TO SEGMENTATION OF ULTRASOUND IMAGES
Chapter
Abstract
An approach for segmentation of ultrasound images using features extracted by orthogonal wavelet transforms is proposed. These features are used for learning a backpropagation neural network. The result of classification is improved by using a neighbourhood information.
