  • Method and system for estimating motion between images, particularly in ultrasound spatial compounding
    Patent number: 10679349
    Abstract: Methods are provided for estimating motion between images associated with a common region of interest, the method comprising: providing frames including a reference frame and a target frame; determining a global motion vector based on a comparison of the reference and target frames; for a plurality of local blocks, determining local motion vectors between the reference and target frames based on the global motion vector to form globally adjusted local motion vectors; considering the globally adjusted local motion vectors as motion estimator. A corresponding system is also disclosed.
