1. A method for detection of a plane from three-dimensional echocardiographic data, the method comprising: applying a sequence of machine trained classifiers to the three-dimensional echocardiographic data, a first of the classifiers for translation of the plane within a volume represented by the three-dimensional echocardiographic data, a second of the classifiers for rotation of the plane within the volume, and a third of the classifiers for scale of the plane within the volume; detecting a position of the plane as a function of the output of the first, second, and third classifiers; and generating an image as a function of the position of the plane.
