Detailed Description

Algorithm to create an ultrasound sweep without image content from two splines.

It generates a sequence of empty ultrasound images (frames) distributed along the transducer spline, with each frame's orientation determined by the selected reference spline (center or direction). The frames are positioned and oriented according to the geometry and alignment parameters, and are timestamped to simulate a sweep over time. The resulting sweep contains only geometry and mask information, not real image data.
