Originální abstrakt

Analyzing the motion of the common carotid artery (CCA) wall yields effective indicators for atherosclerosis. In this work, we propose a state-space model and a tracking method for estimating the time-varying CCA wall radius from a B-mode ultrasound sequence of arbitrary length. We employ an unscented Kalman filter that fuses two sets of measurements produced by an optical flow algorithm and a CCA wall localization algorithm. This fusion-and-tracking approach ensures that feature drift, which tends to impair optical flow based methods, is compensated in a temporally consistent manner. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms a recently proposed optical flow based method.
