Title
Non-Rigid Motion Models for Tracking the Left Ventricular Wall
Abstract
A unified framework for visual motion tracking of non-rigid objects with specific applications to the left ventricular endocardial wall motion is outlined. The theory considers both two dimensional contours and three dimensional surfaces and in each case uses an elastic model of the object with constraints on the types of motion allowed for tracking the movement. The basic theme in both two and three dimensional analysis is to match bending and stretching properties of shapes in consecutive time instances for deducing quantitative information about the motion of the LV wall. Several algorithms are presented, and applications to real and simulated data are included. At the end, future directions for research are discussed.
