Detection and Characterization of the Fetal Heartbeat in Free-hand Ultrasound Sweeps with Weakly-supervised Two-streams Convolutional Networks
Assessment of fetal cardiac activity is essential to confirm pregnancy viability in obstetric ultrasound. However, automated detection and localization of a beating fetal heart, in free-hand ultrasound sweeps, is a very challenging task, due to high variation in heart appearance, scale and position...
