Development of a simulation framework for ultra-realistic echocardiographic image sequences and its application for benchmarking different strain estimation algorithms. KU Leuven
the aim of the project is to propose a novel simulation framework that can provide a truly reliable benchmark. Herto, the most recent advances in electromechanical modeling and ultrasound simulation will be combined. The framework will provide synthetic sequences that are virtually indistinguishable form real ones. Different 3D motion and deformation estimators will be contracted using the generated ultra-realistic synthetic data sets.
