Ultrasound-Specific Segmentation via Decorrelation and Statistical Region-Based Active Contours
... Segmentation of ultrasound images is often a very chal- lenging task due to speckle noise that contaminates the image. It is well known that speckle noise exhibits an asymmetric distribution as well as significant ...
