Multi-hypothesis tracking of the tongue surface in ultrasound video recordings of normal and impaired speech

Observing and characterizing tongue motion is of interest to the study of normal and impaired speech production. Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for speech research  (Stone, 2005) as it provides a spatially dense representation of the moving tongue at relatively good sampling rates, interferes minimally with natural articulatory processes, and is safe, affordable and portable, and thus suitable for field work.
