In this paper we address the problem of spatio-temporal acoustic boundary detection in echocardiography. We propose a phase-based feature detection method to be used as the front end to higher-level 2D+T/3D+T reconstruction algorithms. We develop a 2D+T version of this algorithm and illustrate its performance on some typical echocardiogram sequences. We show how our temporal-based algorithm helps to reduce the number of spurious feature responses due to speckle and provides feature velocity estimates. Further, our approach is intensity-amplitude invariant. This makes it particularly attractive for echocardiographic segmentation, where choosing a single global intensity-based edge threshold is problematic. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
