Realistic modeling of the interaction between surgical instruments and human organs has been recognized as a key requirement in the development of high-fidelity surgical simulato...
Analysis of elastic laminae provides vital information on both the gross and fine structures of the arterial wall, which is vital to assess issues such as mechanical damage caused...

Abstract. To develop statistical models for shapes, we utilize an elastic string representation where curves (denoting shapes) can bend and locally stretch (or compress) to optimal...

Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which resul...
Distorted character recognition is a difficult but inevitable problem in hand-printed character recognition. In this paper, we propose a character recognition method using elastic...
