Abstract
A method is provided for automatically identifying image views in a three-dimensional dataset comprises accessing with a processor a three-dimensional dataset comprising a plurality of image frames and fitting with the processor at least one deformable model to at least one structure within each of the image frames. The method further comprises identifying with the processor at least one feature point within each of the image frames based on the at least one deformable model and displaying on a display at least one image view based on the at least one feature point.

A method for automatically identifying image views in a three-dimensional dataset, comprising:
- accessing with a processor a three-dimensional (3D) dataset comprising a plurality of image frames;
- fitting with the processor at least one deformable model to at least one structure within each of the image frames;
- identifying with the processor at least one feature point within each of the image frames based on the at least one deformable model;
- and
- displaying on a display at least one image view based on the at least one feature point.
A system for automatically identifying image views in a three-dimensional dataset, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- access a three-dimensional dataset comprising a plurality of image frames;
- fit at least two coupled deformable models to structures within each of the image frames;
- identify at least one feature point within each of the image frames based on at least one of the deformable models;
- and
- a display configured to display at least one image view based on the at least one feature point.
