Abstract

Acquisition of the standard plane is the prerequisite of biometric measurement and diagnosis during the ultrasound (US) examination. In this paper, a new algorithm is developed for the automatic recognition of the fetal facial standard planes (FFSPs) such as the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Specifically, densely sampled root scale invariant feature transform (RootSIFT) features are extracted and then encoded by Fisher vector (FV). The Fisher network with multi-layer design is also developed to extract spatial information to boost the classification performance. Finally, automatic recognition of the FFSPs is implemented by support vector machine (SVM) classifier based on the stochastic dual coordinate ascent (SDCA) algorithm. Experimental results using our dataset demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 93.27% and a mean average precision (mAP) of 99.19% in recognizing different FFSPs. Furthermore, the comparative analyses reveal the superiority of the proposed method based on FV over the traditional methods.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • FV is able to obtain a high discriminative subspace with complementary feature subspace exploration.

    “Compared with the conventional methods, FV is able to obtain high discriminative subspace with the complementary feature subspace exploration.”

    From Discriminative Learning for Automatic Staging of Placental Maturity via Multi-layer Fisher Vector (2015) · cites this paper as [40]

    The Methodology > Fisher Vector section says FV encodes higher-order statistics to discriminate differences between image distributions, and Experimental Results > Recognition Results reports better recognition performance than conventional methods. Neither passage says FV obtains a discriminative subspace through complementary feature-subspace exploration. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
