The invention provides a medical
image processing method and device based on a pathfinder intelligent
search algorithm, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining an input to-be-processed medical image I (i, j), segmenting the image into n windows, and removing the
noise of each of the n windows through median filtering, and obtaining a
noise-free image IF (i, j); based on a
gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)
feature extraction method, extracting texture parameters of the image from the noiseless image IF (i, j), wherein the texture parameters comprise the
contrast ratio, the correlation degree, the angle second moment, the inverse differential moment (IDM) and the entropy between adjacent pixels, and GLCM features are constructed; extracting important texture features from the constructed GLCM features by using a pathfinder intelligent
search algorithm; and inputting the extracted important texture features into a trained
kernel extreme learning machine KELM to obtain classification and recognition results of the to-be-processed medical images. According to the scheme of the invention, the accuracy of ultrasonic image recognition can be improved, and the efficiency of ultrasonic image classification and image recognition is improved.
