This paper presents an innovative hardware architecture for medical nanorobots, using nanobioelectronics, clinical data, and wireless technologies, as embedded integrated system d...
Accurate estimation and tracking of dynamic tissue deformation is important to motion compensation, intra-operative surgical guidance and navigation in minimally invasive surgery. ...
We propose an image-based motion tracking algorithm that can be used with stereo endoscopic and microscope systems. The tracking problem is considered to be a time-varying optimiza...
