1. A method for creating ultrasound images of a moving medium by generating a morphing function, comprising:
emitting, by a portion of a plurality of emitters, a plurality of ultrasound waves until a motion of the moving medium below a predetermined threshold is determined, wherein the plurality of ultrasound wave is emitted towards the moving medium;
receiving, by a portion of a plurality of sensors, a first plurality of received signals corresponding to the plurality of ultrasound waves;
generating a model of a morphing function when the motion of the moving medium is below the predetermined threshold, wherein the motion of the moving medium is determined based on at least one received signal of the plurality of first received signals, wherein the morphing function defines morphing of the moving medium from an initial plurality of received signals; and
performing a wave inversion on the model of the morphing function.
