Abstract
A method is described for the determination of an immobile region of an
ultrasound image of the heart. Following a noise reduction operation using an
optimal signal-adaptive algorithm, a luminance-based block matching technique
is used to determine the motion field. Subsequently, the motion field map is
processed and the immobile region is extracted by using a 2-D texture
separating algorithm.
