The key frames are markers delimiting morphological changes along the vessel. The aim of defining key frames is two-fold: (1) they allow to summarize the content of the pullback into few representative frames; (2) they represent the basis for the automatic detection of clinical events in IVUS. The proposed approach achieved a compression ratio of 0.016 with respect to the original sequence and an average inter-frame distance of 61.76 frame, minimizing the number of missed clinical events.", optnote="MILAB;HuPBA", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=1767), last updated on Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:37:40 +0100", opturl="http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.299.7297" }
