English abstract:
An analysis of the motion of the common carotid artery (CCA) provides effective indicators for cardiovascular diseases. Here, we propose a method for tracking CCA wall motion from a B-mode ultrasound video sequence. An unscented Kalman filter based on a suitably devised state-space model fuses measurements produced by an optical flow algorithm and a CCA wall localization algorithm. This approach compensates for feature drift, which is a detrimental effect in optical flow algorithms. The proposed method is demonstrated to outperform a state-of-the-art tracking method based on optical flow.
