Analyzing and understanding the movement of the mitral valve is of vital importance in cardiology, as the treatment and prevention of several serious heart diseases depend on it. Unfortunately, large amounts of noise as well as a highly varying image quality make the automatic tracking and segmentation of the mitral valve in two-dimensional echocardiographic videos challenging. In this paper, we present a fully automatic and unsupervised method for segmentation of the mitral valve in two-dimensional echocardiographic videos, independently of the echocardiographic view. We propose a bias-free variant of the robust non-negative matrix factorization (RNMF) along with a window-based localization approach, that is able to identify the mitral valve in several challenging situations. We improve the average f1-score on our dataset of 10 echocardiographic videos by 0.18 to a f1-score of 0.56.
分析和理解二尖瓣的运动在心脏病学中至关重要,因为几种严重心脏病的治疗和预防都依赖于此。不幸的是,大量噪声以及高度变化的图像质量使得在二维超声心动图视频中对二尖瓣进行自动跟踪和分割具有挑战性。在本文中,我们提出了一种全自动且无监督的方法,用于在二维超声心动图视频中分割二尖瓣,且与超声心动图视图无关。我们提出了一种稳健非负矩阵分解(RNMF)的无偏差变体以及基于窗口的定位方法,该方法能够在多种具有挑战性的情况下识别二尖瓣。我们将我们10个超声心动图视频数据集上的平均F1分数提高了0.18,达到了0.56的F1分数。
