In this paper we propose a genetic and greedy algorithm combination for the optimization of the Topological Active Nets (TAN) model. This is a deformable model used for image segme...
Abstract. A stochastic finite element method (SFEM) based framework is proposed for the simultaneous estimation of cardiac kinematics functions and material model parameters. While...
Robots consisting of several concentric, preshaped, elastic tubes can work dexterously in narrow, constrained, and/or winding spaces, as are commonly found in minimally invasive s...
