Real-time update of 3D deformable models for computer aided liver surgery
Providing accurate image-guidance for soft-tissue interventions remains a complex task. Most of the time, preoperative models and planning data are no more valid during the surgic...

A novel method for alignment of 3D models
In this paper we present a new method for alignment of 3D models. This approach is based on symmetry properties, and uses the fact that the principal components analysis (PCA) hav...
