Abstract:
In the process of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, accurate identification of fetal facial ultrasound standard plane (FFUSP) is essential for accurate facial deformity detection and disease screening, such as cleft lip and palate detection and Down syndrome screening check. However, the traditional method of obtaining standard planes is manual screening by doctors. Due to different levels of doctors, this method often leads to large errors in the results. Therefore, in this study, we propose a texture feature fusion method (LH-SVM) for automatic recognition and classification of FFUSP. First, extract image’s texture features, including Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG), then perform feature fusion, and finally adopt Support Vector Machine (SVM) for predictive classification. In our study, we used fetal facial ultrasound images from 20 to 24 weeks of gestation as experimental data for a total of 943 standard plane images (221 ocular axial planes, 298 median sagittal planes, 424 nasolabial coronal planes, and 350 nonstandard planes, OAP, MSP, NCP, N-SP). Based on this data set, we performed five-fold cross-validation. The final test results show that the accuracy rate of the proposed method for FFUSP classification is 94.67%, the average precision rate is 94.27%, the average recall rate is 93.88%, and the average F 1 score is 94.08%. The experimental results indicate that the texture feature fusion method can effectively predict and classify FFUSP, which provides an essential basis for clinical research on the automatic detection method of FFUSP.
