G. Malathi, V. Shanthi . Histogram Based Classification of Ultrasound Images of Placenta. International Journal of Computer Applications. 1, 16 ( February 2010), 49-52. DOI=10.5120/343-522
Abstract
In this paper, the authors have made an attempt to classify the placenta based on the intensity level of histogram of the ultrasound images of placenta. The medical images are usually low in resolution. Specialized tools are required to assist the medical experts in medical image diagnosis and for further treatment. The image histogram is used to classify the ultrasound images of placenta into normal and abnormal placenta using k nearest neighbor classifier. It is further used to analyze the complications of gestational diabetes mellitus on the growth of the placenta.
