Key Points

To develop an accurate semi-supervised echocardiography video segmentation framework that overcomes challenges of speckle noise, low spatial resolution, and limited manual frame annotations.
Applied adaptive tensor singular value decomposition (t-SVD) within a learnable 3D transform domain to isolate principal features and exploit low-rank spatio-temporal correlations.
Implemented a multi-scale affinity-based memory flow mechanism to propagate dynamic tissue information across adjacent frames.
Evaluated the semi-supervised framework against existing optical flow and cross-frame attention methods using both public and private echocardiography datasets.
Captured continuous temporal evolution of cardiac structures using information derived from sparsely labeled frames.
Outperformed state-of-the-art segmentation methods in accuracy and frame-to-frame continuity across public and private benchmarks without the high computational overhead of dense optical flow.
