Development of a 3D tongue motion visualization platform based on ultrasound image sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes the development of a platform designed to visualize the 3D motion of the tongue using ultrasound image sequences. An overview of the system design is given and promising results are presented. Compared to the analysis of motion in 2D image sequences, such a system can provide additional visual information and a quantitative description of the tongue’s 3D motion. The platform can be useful in a variety of fields, such as speech production, articulation training, etc.

3d Tongue Motion Visualization Based on Ultrasound Image Sequences
The article proposes a real-time technique for visualizing tongue motion driven by ultrasound image sequences. Local feature description is used to follow characteristic speckle patterns in a set of mid-sagittal contour points in an ultrasound image sequence, which are then used as markers for describing movements of the tongue. A 3D tongue model is subsequently driven by the motion data extrac...
متن کاملComputation Optical Flow Using Pipeline Architecture
Accurate estimation of motion from time-varying imagery has been a popular problem in vision studies, This information can be used in segmentation, 3D motion and shape recovery, target tracking, and other problems in scene analysis and interpretation. We have presented a dynamic image model for estimating image motion from image sequences, and have shown how the solution can be obtained from a ...
متن کاملSubject-specific and respiration-corrected 4D liver model from real-time ultrasound image sequences
Respiratory liver motion is one of the major issues affecting the liver interventions, such as biopsy and ablation, in the clinical practice. Traditional 4D liver model methods using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) data sets for motion compensation to solve this problem have proved time-consuming and costly. In addition, the widely used freehand 3D ultrasound techni...
متن کاملA Machine Learning Approach to Tongue Motion Analysis in 2D Ultrasound Image Sequences
Analysis of tongue motions as captured in dynamic ultrasound (US) images has been an important tool in speech research. Previous studies generally required semi-automatic tongue segmentations to perform data analysis. In this paper, we adopt a machine learning approach that does not require tongue segmentation. Specifically, we employ advanced normalization procedures to temporally register the...
متن کاملExtracting motion velocities from 3D image sequences and coupled spatio-temporal smoothing
Recent image machinery delivers sequences of large scale three-dimensional (3D) images with a considerably small sampling width in time. In medical as well as in engineering applications the interest lies in underlying deformation, growth or motion phenomena. A robust method is presented to extract motion velocities from such image sequences. To avoid an ill-posedness of the problem one has to ...
