Tracked medical ultrasound allows for cost-effective and radiation-free imaging of anatomy
featuring a very high spatial resolution. To overcome the limitations of the small field-of-view,
sonographers can acquire multiple adjacent sweeps and compound them into a single
volumetric representation. However, due to the inherent local and non-uniform compression
of the underlying anatomy (caused by the ultrasound probe) the adjacent sweeps often
exhibit poor alignment and discontinuities. We propose a novel decompression model to …
