In this thesis, automatic segmentation of liver veins from ultrasound slices is
implemented and further rendered into 3D image to assist the medical doctor to more
accurately apply any study intended on the liver. The main part of this study is the texture
analysis since it is the hardest problem in common.
As a start, 4 different techniques in texture analysis have been introduced, the Spatial
Gray-level Dependence Matrices (SGLDM), The Fourier Power Spectrum (FPS), The Gray- Level Difference Statistics (GLD), and Law's Texture Energy Measure (TEM). Each of these methods have been discussed ...
