Abstract

Performance evaluation of contour determination algorithm using both conventional ultrasound images and ultrasound images, generated by multi-angle compounding imaging (MACI) is presented. A method for modelling different contour shapes with known true positions and a method for error estimation are used to compare the results in both cases. A probabilistic data association combined with interacting multiple model (IMMPDA) approach is used for contour determination algorithm. The results are presented in figures and show that the contour determination algorithm works more robust and more precisely with compound images
