The invention belongs to the technical field of
image processing, and particularly provides an automatic
selection method for an optimal homogenous region of an
ultrasound image and based on quad-tree
decomposition. According to the automatic
selection method for the optimal homogenous region of the
ultrasound image and based on the quad-tree
decomposition, firstly, a threshold value determined through maximum between-cluster variance binarization is used as a consistency standard for the quad-tree
decomposition of the
ultrasound image; secondly, all current maximum blocks are sequentially taken out from decomposition results according to an order from large to small, and optimized selection is conducted according to the judgment basis of the blocks in the optimal homogenous region; and lastly, whether an automatic selection result of the optimal homogenous region is output or the initial binarized threshold value is adjusted to repeat the above steps is determined according to a judgment result. The automatic
selection method for the optimal homogenous region of the
ultrasound image and based on the quad-tree decomposition is high in efficiency and short in
operation time; manual intervention is not needed, and only
ultrasound image data are used for driving; and the automatic selection method is quite suitable for determination of homogenous regions at the time of handling
noise reduction of
ultrasound image spots, selection of an area-of-interest,
boundary detection, target segmentation and the like, and has a remarkable actual using effect.
