This　study　extends　the　state　of　the　art　of　deep　learning　convolutional　neural　network　(CNN)　to　the　classification　of　video　images　of　echocardiography,　aiming　at　assisting　clinicians　in　diagnosis　of　heart　diseases.　Specifically,　the　architecture　of　neural　networks　is　established　by　embracing　hand-crafted　features　within　a　data-driven　learning　framework,　incorporating　both　spatial　and　temporal　information　sustained　by　the　video　images　of　the　moving　heart　and　giving　rise　to　two　strands　of　two-dimensional　convolutional　neural　network　(CNN).　In　particular,　the　acceleration　measurement　along　the　time　direction　at　each　point　is　calculated　using　dense　optical　flow　technique　to　represent　temporal　motion　information.　Subsequently,　the　fusion　of　both　networks　is　conducted　via　linear　integrations　of　the　vectors　of　class　scores　obtained　from　each　of　the　two　networks.　As　a　result,　this　architecture　maintains　the　best　classification　results　for　eight　viewpoint　categories　of　echo　videos　with　92.1%　accuracy　rate　whereas　89.5%　is　achieved　using　only　single　spatial　CNN　network.　When　concerning　only　three　primary　locations,　98%　of　accuracy　rate　is　realised.　In　addition,　comparisons　with　a　number　of　well-known　hand-engineered　approaches　are　also　performed,　including　2D　KAZE,　2D　KAZE　with　Optical　Flow,　3D　KAZA,　Optical　Flow,　2D　SIFT　and　3D　SIFT,　which　delivers　accuracy　rate　of　89.4%,　84.3%,　87.9%,　79.4%,　83.8%　and　73.8%　respectively.　(C)　2016　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
