Automated Measurement of Ultrasound Image Tongue Position Using MATLAB

The purpose of this research is to program, document, and test a method of automatically executing image processing of ultrasound tongue images. This, in turn, will save much time in processing mountains of future ultrasound tongue position data. Image processing could be automated with a method that involved processing movie files, image files and text files, each with di fferent software. The processing time taken by each task was also measured. More effi cient methods of automated image processing are suggested for future research.
