A phase-based block matching method adapted to motion estimation with unconventional
beamforming strategies is presented. The unconventional beamforming technique used …

This paper focuses on motion tracking in echocardiographic ultrasound images. The
difficulty of this task is related to the fact that echographic image formation induces …

Cardiac elastography is a useful diagnostic technique for detection of heart function
abnormalities, based on analysis of echocardiograms. The analysis of the regional heart …

This paper investigates motion tracking for ultrasound imaging. The proposed method is
adapted to ultrasonic images and uses a bilinear motion model for controlling the local mesh …

In this correspondence, a method of analytic subsample spatial shift estimation based on an
a priori nD signal model is proposed. The estimation uses the linear phases of n analytic …

This paper presents a phase-based method for estimating subpixel motion in medical
ultrasound imaging. The main novelty is to propose a closed form expression for local …

In this paper, we focus on velocity estimation in ultrasound images sequences. Ultrasound
images present many difficulties in image processing because of the typically high level of …

We describe a method for estimating 2-D target motion using ultrasound. The method is
based on previous ensemble tracking techniques, which required at least four parallel …

Beyond all recent methods for estimating multidimensional motion vectors in ultrasound
(US) image sequences, the transverse oscillation (TO) images coupled with a phase-based …

Recently, high-frame-rate ultrasound has been extensively studied for measurement of
tissue dynamics, such as pulsations of the carotid artery and heart. Motion estimators are …
