Abstract. In the field of image-guided liver surgery (IGLS), the initial registration of the intra-operative organ surface with preoperative tomographic image data is performed on...
We propose an adaptive figure-ground classification algorithm to automatically extract a foreground region using a user-provided bounding-box. The image is first over-segmented wi...
Virtual environment research has focused on interactive image generation and has largely ignored acoustic modeling for spatialization of sound. Yet, realistic auditory cues can co...
