Elastically Adaptive Deformable Models
We present a novel technique for the automatic adaptation of a deformable model's elastic parameters within a Kalman filter framework for shape estimation applications. The no...

A New Active Contour Method Based on Elastic Interaction
Image segmentation is defined as partitioning an image into non-overlapping regions based on the intensity or texture. The active contour methods provide an effective way for segm...

A Geometrically Exact Model for Externally Loaded Concentric-Tube Continuum Robots
Continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved elastic tubes, can provide dexterity at diameters equivalent to standard surgical needles. Recent mechanicsba...

Local Minimum of Elastic Potential Energy on Hemispherical Soft Fingertip
— This paper proposes a new contact deformation model between a hemispherical soft fingertip and an object. First, we develop our proposed contact model, in which an elastic pot...
