Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, storage medium, and system for analyzing an image sequence of a periodic physiological activity. In one implementation, the method includes receiving the image sequence acquired by an imaging device, the image sequence having a plurality of frames and determining local motions for pixels in each frame of the image sequence. The local motion for a pixel may be determined using corresponding pixels in frames adjacent to the frame to which the pixel belongs. The method further includes determining principal motions for the plurality of frames based on the local motions; determining a motion magnitude profile based on the principal motions; and determining the phase of each frame in the image sequence based on the motion magnitude profile.
