Abstract
An efficient and robust approach, which is based on wavelet transform (WT), is proposed for contour extraction for medical ultrasonic images having low signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore the best wavelet features for profile analysis is estimated by GAs without manual operation. No image preprocessing is needed, so computation time is fast. Experimental results to confirm the proposed algorithm are also included
