Abstract

Systems, apparatus and methods that use a hidden Markov model to estimate motion of a sample under measurement and to reduce a motion-induced effect in the measurement. MRI systems and other sample measurement systems can be implemented based on motion sensing using the hidden Markov model. Recursive and non-recursive estimation processes are described.
