Multi-view Image Reconstruction: Application to Fetal Ultrasound Compounding

Ultrasound (US), a standard diagnostic tool to detect fetal abnormalities, is a direction dependent imaging modality, i.e. the position of the probe highly influences the appearance of the image. View-dependent artifacts such as shadows can obstruct parts of the anatomy of interest and degrade the quality and usefulness of the image. If multiple images of the same structure are acquired from different views, view-dependent artifacts can be minimized.
