Rebuilding IVUS images from raw data of the RF signal exported by IVUS equipment - Emerging Trends in Image Processing, Computer Vision, and Pattern Recognition - page 78

Thereby, as future works, we are planning to develop a segmentation algorithm and auto-
matic classifiers to perform a tissue classification based on texture and spectral analysis of the
RF signal.
