Abstract
To improve the performance of thyroid standard plane scanning, this paper proposes a classification algorithm for classifying thyroid ultrasound images using texture features. Firstly, the region of interest of ultrasound images is chosen in the preprocessing process step. Secondly, the local binary patterns (LBP) features and the histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) features of the images are extracted. Then the obtained feature vectors are spliced as the input of the support vector machine (SVM) which is used to classify the thyroid standard plane images. In the experiment, there are 4,574 thyroid standard plane images are used in this paper, which are divided into 8 categories, of which 3,655 pictures for training, and 919 pictures for testing. The experimental results show that the classification accuracy is up to 88.58%, which show a fact that the proposed algorithm has a good discriminating ability for the standard eight-category thyroid plane images, which can assist the doctor to diagnose to a certain extent.
