Step 1410, calculates seed points and concentrates pixel number according to the increment of predetermined condition.Specifically, calculate According to the increment A of pixel N during threshold value T monotone increasing, calculate increment A such as following formula:
A1=N2-N1、A2=N3-N2、……A254=N255-N254
Thus obtain the corresponding set of increment A corresponding to threshold value T.Illustratively, Fig. 6 show with monotone increasing Threshold value T added is abscissa, correspondingly calculates the pass of increment A is vertical coordinate one group of threshold value-increment of gained It it is curve.
Step 1412, the pixel region corresponding to labelling maximal increment.Specifically, from aforementioned calculated One group of increment A selects the increment A of maximumj, and labelling this maximal increment AjCorresponding seed points is concentrated each The region S that pixel is formedj.Illustratively, the region 702 shown in Fig. 7 is the filtering figure shown in Fig. 5 Shape after the growth, incremental computations of seed point set, the region marked by this step.
Step 1414, corrects the region of foregoing tags.Specifically, Mathematical Morphology Method pair is used The region S of institute's labellingjCorrect.Illustratively, can be to marked region SjCarry out a series of morphology operations, Including:
1, to region SjCarrying out morphology and close (Morphology Closing) computing, fortune is closed in described morphology Calculating and using radius is R1Round die block enter computing, radius R1Calculating formula be:Wherein Nj For region SjThe number of included pixel.
2, closing operation of mathematical morphology rear region S is deletedjHole;Illustratively, region 702 during described hole is Fig. 7 White portion in included black part;
3, to region SjCarrying out morphology and close (Morphology Closing) computing, fortune is closed in described morphology Calculating and using radius is R2Round die block computing, radius R2Calculating formula be:Wherein Nj For region SjThe number of included pixel.
Through the image that this step house of correction obtains, can clearly reflect epicardial border two in blood-vessel image medium vessels The image difference of side.Illustratively, Fig. 8 show the marked region of Fig. 7 gained district of gained after overcorrection Territory figure, in this figure, epicardial border interior zone in the blood vessel of region 802 reflection, itself and region 804 The middle epicardial border perimeter reflected is compared has significantly difference, it is easy to differentiate.
Step 1416, detects epicardial border in the blood vessel of described blood-vessel image according to the image after correcting.Such as figure Shown in 9, after overcorrection, the middle epicardial border both sides image in described blood-vessel image has significantly difference, It is prone to detect middle epicardial border 902.
Step 1418, according to epicardial border in the blood vessel detected by having carried out the filtering image after filtering and noise reduction The image in region within epicardial border in the described blood vessel of middle selection.Specifically, with the middle adventitia shown in Fig. 9 As a example by border 902, the region above border 902 is selected to be blood in filtering image with border 902 for boundary The image of epicardial border interior zone in pipe.
Step 1420, the specific characteristic vector of each pixel in the interior zone selected by acquisition, and according to institute State specific characteristic vector to carry out clustering computing, with by the pixel of described tube chamber boundaries on either side area image respectively Cluster, to form cluster areas respectively by the some set of the cluster of described cluster.Specifically, described inside is obtained The gray value of each pixel and the standard deviation of gray value in each pixel 8 territory in region, using as this The specific characteristic vector of pixel.Be respectively provided with feature that coordinate on described filtering image is the pixel of (1,1) to Amount C1And characteristic vector C of arbitrary pixel on foregoing boundary 9022For cluster centre, K average is utilized to gather The characteristic vector of pixel each in interior zone is calculated and clusters by class method, thus obtains with filtering figure As the pixel that pixel the is cluster centre cluster G that upper coordinate is (1,1)xWith with any pixel on border 902 The pixel cluster G that point is cluster centrey.Pixel cluster GxPixel cluster GyRepresentative pixel Form cluster areas S respectivelyxWith cluster areas Sy.Illustratively, Figure 10 show the figure that have passed through cluster calculation The schematic diagram of the cluster areas that the Vascular Ultrasonography image of 1 is formed, in figure, region 1002 represents pixel cluster GxCluster areas S that representative pixel is formedx, region 1004 represents pixel cluster GyRepresentative Cluster areas S that pixel is formedy
Step 1422, the cluster areas of formation calculated to cluster module is corrected.Specifically, can make By Mathematical Morphology Method to cluster areas SxCorrect.Illustratively, in alternative embodiments, right Cluster areas carries out following rectification computing:
1, cluster areas carrying out morphology and close (Morphology Closing) computing, fortune is closed in described morphology Calculating and using radius is R3Round die block enter computing, radius R3Calculating formula be: R3=0.02 × polarwidth, Wherein polarwidth is the horizontal size of the polar coordinate image of gained after described polar coordinate transform;
2, closing operation of mathematical morphology rear region S is deletedxHole;
3, to region SxCarrying out morphology and close (Morphology Closing) computing, fortune is closed in described morphology Calculating and using radius is R4Round die block computing, radius R4Calculating formula be: R4=0.03 × polarwidth, Wherein polarwidth is the horizontal size of the polar coordinate image of gained after described polar coordinate transform.
Illustratively, the image that Figure 11 is formed after overcorrection computing by the cluster areas shown in Figure 10, by Figure 11 is it will be seen that after overcorrection computing, the vessel lumen boundaries on either side image of described blood-vessel image has Significantly difference, it is easy to differentiate.
Step 1424, detects the tube chamber border of described blood-vessel image according to the cluster areas image after correcting.As Shown in Figure 12, after overcorrection, the middle epicardial border both sides image in described blood-vessel image has obvious district Not, it is easy to detect middle epicardial border 1202.
Step 1426, is transformed to epicardial border in the blood vessel under the polar coordinate system of detection and vessel lumen border Rectangular coordinate, and then middle epicardial border and the tube chamber of blood vessel can be demonstrated under the blood-vessel image of rectangular coordinate Border.Illustratively, shown in Figure 13 by epicardial border 902 and blood vessel pipe in the blood vessel that detected in Figure 12 Border, chamber 1202 identifies the blood-vessel image at rectangular coordinate after rectangular coordinates transformation block transforms is rectangular coordinate On schematic diagram.
Image in ultrasonic blood vessel is made by the way of region growing by the ultrasonic blood vessel boundary detection method of the present invention Obtain the image of epicardial border both sides in blood-vessel image to be prone to differentiate and make blood-vessel image is managed by cluster mode Chamber boundaries on either side image is prone to differentiate, thus the middle epicardial border detected and tube chamber boundary coordinate are accurate.
Embodiment described above only have expressed the several embodiments of the present invention, and it describes more concrete and detailed, But therefore can not be interpreted as the restriction to the scope of the claims of the present invention.It should be pointed out that, for this area Those of ordinary skill for, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, it is also possible to make some deformation and Improving, these broadly fall into protection scope of the present invention.Therefore, the protection domain of patent of the present invention should be with appended Claim is as the criterion.
