  • HIERARCHICAL MOTION ESTIMATION
    Publication number: 20100014726
    Abstract: In three-dimensional rotational x-ray coronary imaging problems may arise when estimating the motion of small vessels. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an examination apparatus is provided which is adapted for performing a hierarchical motion estimation by global affine transformation for every heart phase, followed by vessel branch selective affine and non-affine transformations. This may provide for an improved image quality.
