Range sensing technology allows the photo-realistic modeling of large-scale scenes, such as urban structures. A major bottleneck in the process of 3D scene acquisition is the auto...
— Accurate needle insertion in 3D environment is always a grand challenge. When multiple targets are located in the tissue, a procedure of inserting multiple needles from a singl...
