Description
This folder contains data and code accompanying the paper [1]. The database is composed of 105 simulated sequences, including:
simulated texture from 7 vendors;
5 motion patterns;
3 probe orientations;
For each sequence we provide:
simulated B-mode data: path = "./data <vendor_id>/<view_id>/<motion_id>/im_sim.mat";
ground truth tracking: path = "./data/<vendor_id>/<view_id>/ <motion_id>/ground_truth.mat";
The following MATLAB scripts are provided to facilitate the use of the data:
main_play_data.m: to play the simulated cine-loops as well as the ground truth tracking;
main_compute_strain.m: to compute ground truth segmental strain.
Please consider citing [1] if you make use of the data.
