Abstract

In this report, we proposed a method of discriminating of fascia using Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) in ultrasound images. In modern society, aging is progressing due to medical development. Along with that, the decline of muscle due to aging is regarded as a serious problem. To cope with this problem, we proposed a method of automatic fascia classification to visualize muscle thickness. Our method use SVM based on the texture of ultrasound images. In addition to this method, our method achieves about 90% Accuracy and Recall by considering that the fascia is a continuous tissue. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed automatic fascia extraction method.
