Features extraction and analysis methods for sequences of ultrasound Images

Our principal motivation is to study time sequences of echocardiographic raw data to track specific anatomical structures. First, we show that the image processing can make direct use of the audio signal data, avoiding loss of information and yielding optimal results.
