— A new visual servoing method based on B-mode ultrasound images is proposed to automatically control the motion of a 2D ultrasound probe held by a medical robot in order to reac...
The main goal of this paper is the study of image-based stereo visual servoing. A pair of cameras is mounted on the end-effector of the manipulator arm. The visual features are t...
