Abstract Accurate cardiac motion estimation from medical images such as ultrasound is important for clinical evaluation. We present a novel regularisation layer for cardiac motion estimation that will be applied after image registration and demonstrate its effectiveness. The regularisation utilises a spatio-temporal model of motion, b-splines of Fourier, to fit to displacement fields from pairwise image registration. In the process, it enforces spatial and temporal smoothness and consistency, cyclic nature of cardiac motion, and better adherence to the stroke volume of the heart. Flexibility is further given for inclusion of any set of registration displacement fields. The approach gave high accuracy. When applied to human adult Ultrasound data from a Cardiac Motion Analysis Challenge (CMAC), the proposed method is found to have 10% lower tracking error over CMAC participants. Satisfactory cardiac motion estimation is also demonstrated on other data sets, including human fetal echocardiography, chick embryonic heart ultrasound images, and zebrafish embryonic microscope images, with the average Dice coefficient between estimation motion and manual segmentation at 0.82–0.87. The approach of performing regularisation as an add-on layer after the completion of image registration is thus a viable option for cardiac motion estimation that can still have good accuracy. Since motion estimation algorithms are complex, dividing up regularisation and registration can simplify the process and provide flexibility. Further, owing to a large variety of existing registration algorithms, such an approach that is usable on any algorithm may be useful.
