17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'04) - Volume 3 An Enhanced Appearance Model for Ultrasound Image Segmentation Cambridge UK August 23-August 26 ISBN: 0-7695-2128-2
Active Appearance Model (AAM) [Active appearance models] had been popular on object segmentation for medical images. However, its performance is not good on Ultrasound (US) images. In this paper, we propose an enhanced appearance model which represents the texture by edge structure [On Representing Edge Structure for Model Matching] and reduces the view-dependent feature of US images by a novel data normalization process. In our experiments on general US data, the proposed model shows considerable improvements compared to the original one [Active appearance models].
