Algorithm 1 Pseudocode of our proposal.
Input: Fetus image (FI)
Output: Results
(0)Load fetus image dataset.
(1)for k = 1 to do// represent the number of images
(2)  Read each image.
(3)  Resize image to 256 × 256 sized image.
(4)  Apply multiple average pooling to image and obtain pooled structure.
   is structure; defines the size of images.
