Cascaded Filter Analysis on Ultrasound Images of Fetus

Ultrasound imaging plays a vital role during fetal development. So from past few decades various kinds of research have been done on ultrasound images. One of the challenging tasks in image processing is to remove or reduce noise present in these ultrasound image. In this paper, we have proposed a method to reduce the noise. Various types of filters have been used like Gaussian, median, wiener, laplacian etc. To enhance the features of the fetus, the concept of hybridization of filters is used. As per the experimental results, set the parameters of the filters like Gaussian (Sigma 2), laplacian (Window size 3x3), wiener (Window size 3x3), median (Window size 3x3). It is observed that wiener filter enhance the fetus ultrasound image more effectively while other filters like laplacian, wiener and median produce better enhance image. We will compare the effectiveness of the filters on fetus ultrasound images.
