The novel technique that the paper presents deals with a method for automatic edge based image segmentation of the urinary bladder from a 2D ultrasound image for finding the area and volume of the urinary bladder accurately. The study of area and volume would provide valuable information about the abnormalities of the bladder and also the extent of abnormality. This method makes use of traditional Hough transform over the preprocessed image to link the discontinuities present in the segmented image which is obtained in the subsequent stages of processing. Experimental results show good performance of the proposed model in segmenting urinary bladder to measure its exact area and volume.
