A fully automated algorithm was developed which demonstrated high similarity with moderate segmentation errors for meibography image segmentation compared with the manual approach, offering multiple parameters to quantify the morphology and function of meibomian glands for the objective evaluation of meibography images.

However, due to the high noise and low contrast characteristics in fetal ultrasound images, denoising and enhancements are important. In this paper, a special method framework for denoising and enhancing is proposed. It consists of a 4D-NLM (non-local means) denoising method for 4D fetal heart ultrasound image sequence, which takes advantage of context similar information in neighboring images to denoise the target image, and an enhancing method called the Adaptive Clipping for Each Histogram Pillar (ACEHP), which is designed to enhance myocardial spaces to distinguish them from blood spaces. Denoising and enhancing experiments show that 4D-NLM method has better denoising effect than several classical and state-of-the-art methods such as NLM and WNNM. Similarly, ACEHP method can keep noise level low while enhancing myocardial regions better than several classical and state-of-the-art methods such as CLAHE and SVDDWT. Furthermore, in the volume rendering after the combined "4D-NLM+ACEHP" processing, the cardiac lumen is clear an
