The ovary's production of many follicles produces PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is a condition that affects women. This article developed an automated diagnostic approach for detecting follicles in the ovary utilizing ultrasound (US) images during infertility treatment. This approach includes procedures including pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. Weiner filter is utilized for eliminating salt and pepper noise, expectation and maximization technique is applied for segmenting follicles, texture-based and statistical features are extracted, and at last, the ovary is classified as normal and abnormal utilizing Hybrid Intelligent Water Drop (IWD) with Extreme learning adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (HIWD-ELANFIS) approach. Then, the severity of the disorder is identified as severe, moderate or normal by applying this new method on US images of ovaries. To determine the efficiency of this strategy, the findings are contrasted with those of other conventional methods.
