In this paper, we introduce two novel total variation models to deal with speckle noise in ultrasound image in order to retain the fine details more effectively and to improve the speed of energy diffusion during the process. Firstly, two new convex functions are introduced as regularization term in the adaptive total variation model, and then, the diffusion performances of Hypersurface Total Variation (HYPTV) model and Logarithmic Total Variation (LOGTV) model are analyzed mathematically through the physical characteristics of local coordinates. We have shown that the larger positive parameter in the model is set, the greater energy diffusion speed appears to be, but it will cause the image to be too smooth that required adequate attention. Numerical experimental results show that our proposed LOGTV model for speckle noise removal is superior to traditional models, not only in visual effect but also in quantitative measures.

Ultrasound imaging helps the doctor to view the tissues and organs in the body's abdominal area with no ionization risks compared to other internal organ examination methods dependent on radiation. It offers highly precise renal imaging of suspected acute kidney diseases. This paper proposes temporary filtering methods to improve ultrasound images from ultrasonic kidney video. The proposed filters focus on the detection and diagnosis of kidney disease by processing consecutive images of the acquired kidney video. Extending the spatial median image filters to temporal dimensions after the picture frames are manually clipped and aligned in MATLAB by image processing Toolbox to suppress speckle noise, and enhance a doctor's diagnostic information quality.
