Title
Medical Ultrasound Image Similarity Measurement by Human Visual System (HVS) Modelling
Abstract
We applied a four stage model of human vision to the problem of similarity measurement of medical (liver) ultrasound images. The results showed that when comparing a given image to a set that contained images with similar features, the model was able to correctly identify the most similar image in the set. Additionally, the shape of the similarity function closely followed a subjective measure of visual similarity for images around the best match. Removing some computational steps to reduce processing time enabled the comparison method to run in near real-time (
