Implementation of follicle monitoring system based on 3D ultrasound images
The monitoring and analysis of cattle follicle dynamics plays an important role in improving the cattle pregnancy rate, both theoretically and practically. In this paper, we demonstrate a follicle monitoring system based on 3D ultrasound image. This system integrates an image de-noising algorithm, edge detection algorithm and 3D reconstruction algorithm together using the MFC framework and OpenGL technologies. Using this system, we realize the following functions: image de-noising, follicle detection, follicle surface extraction, follicle 3D reconstruction, follicle volume calculation, etc.
