We present an image-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) framework with online, appearanceonly loop closing. We adopt a layered approach with metric maps over small ...
Interactive segmentation is useful for selecting objects of interest in images and continues to be a topic of much study. Methods that grow regions from foreground/background seed...
A guidewire is a medical device inserted into vessels during image guided interventions for balloon inflation. During interventions, the guidewire undergoes non-rigid deformation...
— Image-based navigation paradigms have recently emerged as an interesting alternative to conventional modelbased methods in mobile robotics. In this paper, we augment the existi...
In this paper we develop a theory for characterizing how deformable a shape is. We define a term called “deformability index” for shapes. The deformability index is computed ...
