Region growing segmentation of ultrasound images using gradients and local statistics
This paper describes a region growing segmentation algorithm for medical ultrasound images. The algorithm starts with anisotropic diffusion filtering to reduce speckle noise without blurring the edges. Then, region growing is performed starting from a seed point, using a merging criterion that compa...
