Feature matching in Ultrasound images

Abstract: Feature matching is an important technique to identify a single object in different images. It helps machines to construct recognition of a specific object from multiple perspectives. For years, feature matching has been commonly used in various computer vision applications, like traffic surveillance, self-driving, and other systems. With the arise of Computer-Aided Diagnosis(CAD), the need for feature matching techniques also emerges in the medical imaging field. In this paper, we present a deep learning-based method specially for ultrasound images. It will be examined against existing methods that have outstanding results on regular images. As the ultrasound images are different from regular images in many fields like texture, noise type, and dimension, traditional methods will be evaluated and optimized to be applied to ultrasound images.
