Segmentation results for original ultrasound data of a human fetus. The volume data consists of 232 parallel slices from an in vitro linear scan of a fetus obtained using a 5-9 MHz ultrasound transducer. The inter-slice distance is 0.25 mm and the resolution of each image is 640 x 480 pixels (0.25 mm/pixel). A volume of size 256 x 256 x 128 was extracted from the original data and segmented. Results are shown using:

(a) Thresholding


(b) 2D Multiresolution Texture Segmentation (MTS)


(c) 3D MTS


(d) 3D MTS (different perspective)


Results with additive noise, sigma = 40:

(e) Thresholding


(f) 3D MTS
