— Mobile robots do not adequately represent the objects in their environment; this weakness hinders a robot’s ability to utilize past experience. In this paper, we describe a s...
: Statistical shape models are powerful tools for model-based segmentation and have been sucessfully applied to the segmentation of various structures in medical images. Though the...
Traditional approaches for modeling a closed manifold surface with either regular tensor-product or triangular splines (defined over an open planar domain) require decomposing th...
An automatic 3D model reconstruction technique is presented to acquire complete 3D models of real objects. The technique is based on novel approaches to pose estimation and integr...
Abstract— A novel heart surface motion estimation framework for a robotic surgery on a stabilized beating heart is proposed. It includes an approach for the reconstruction and pr...
