Abstract:
1. A method for producing a three-dimensional time-series of images representing an object that include time varying changes comprising fluid flow or other movements using lower dimensional images comprising two-dimensional time sequences and a static constraints 3-D map, the method comprising: receiving, by a processor, a first plurality of two-dimensional time series images, wherein the first plurality of images correspond to a first axis of the three-dimensional object, and wherein the first plurality of images include an indicia of time varying changes; and reconstructing, by the processor, the three-dimensional time series of images by combining the first plurality of images with the static 3-D map, wherein the reconstructed three-dimensional images include the indicia of time varying changes of the first plurality of images, wherein the combining comprises iteratively processing a data fusion equation that includes a spatial parameter and temporal parameter to output either a spatial or temporal result at each iteration.
