We present a method for motion artifacts reduction during 3D volume reconstruction of free hand 2D ultrasound sequences. Motion estimation and additional filtering improves quality of free hand 3D ultrasound data resulting in improved imaging. Reconstructed 3D data was visualized using the OpenGL ES framework and GLSL shader language allowing real-time rendering on an embedded class GPU device.
