Abstract. A system for interactive, 3–D, craniofacial surgery simulation is presented. It is used for the 3–D simulation of osteotomies of the facial and skull bones and for th...
We develop a new motion planning algorithm for a variant of a Dubins car with binary left/right steering and apply it to steerable needles, a new class of flexible beveltip medica...

One of the essential components of a virtual reality surgical simulation is deformation. Deformations in computer graphics and surgical simulations are commonly modeled with three...

We present a new approach for realistic visio-haptic simulation of nonlinear and viscoelastic behavior of an organ tissue using a particle model. The spring and damper coefficients...
We revisit recently proposed algorithms for probabilistic clustering with pair-wise constraints between data points. We evaluate and compare existing techniques in terms of robust...
