This paper presents a method that combines graphbased segmentation and multistage region merging to segment laparoscopic images. Starting with image preprocessing, including Gauss...
We present an approach for nonlinear optimization of the parameters of an endoscopic camera mounted on a surgery robot. The goal is to generate a depth map for each image in order...
Abstract. This paper deals with the theory and applications of spatially-variant mathematical morphology. We formalize the definition of spatially variant dilation/erosion and ope...
This paper deals with two important problems for the 3-D image communication; (i) how to synthesize intermediate-viewing-angle images of a Multi-View 3D Image, and (ii) how to com...
Accurately and automatically conveying the structure of a volume model is a problem not fully solved by existing volume rendering approaches. Physics-based volume rendering approa...
