Abstract:
1. A method of processing ultrasound images, the method comprising: receiving color image data comprising a plurality of frames; determining one or more key-frames from among the plurality of frames, based on a brightness value of each of the plurality of frames; setting a region of interest (ROI) in each of the one or more key-frames based on brightness values of a plurality of regions comprised in each of the one or more key-frames; performing image compensation on the plurality of frames based on the ROIs of the one or more key-frames; and reconstructing the color image data by using the image-compensated frames, wherein the determining of the one or more key-frames comprises dividing the plurality of frames into N frame sections and determining the key-frame in each of the N frame sections, and wherein the key-frame has the largest sum of brightness values of a plurality of pixels comprised in each of one or more frames comprised in each of the N frame sections.
