A Model-Based Displacement Outlier Removal Algorithm for Ultrasonic Temperature Estimation

In using ultrasound echo strain to estimate temperature for monitoring HIFU thermal therapy, block matching algorithms are used to estimate the displacement over two image frames. However, due to the image distortion and artifacts over frames, the displacement will be estimated with outliers which w...
