An Algorithm for Objects Straightening in M-Mode Echocardiography Images

This article presents an approach of M-Mode image analysis. These images are important for the diagnosis of heart valves . This implicates a need for accurate object analysis. A special preprocessing is needed. There is an algorithm for objects straightening proposed in this article. This transformation enables correct classification of objects. Considerations are illustrated by examples.
