Abstract—A methodology for estimating the force distribution that occurs along a needle shaft during insertion is described. To validate the approach, an experimental system for ...
Model-based 3D tracker estimate the position, rotation, and joint angles of a given model from video data of one or multiple cameras. They often rely on image features that are tr...
The mean shift algorithm, which is a nonparametric density
estimator for detecting the modes of a distribution on a
Euclidean space, was recently extended to operate on analytic
...
The limitations of estimating structure from either stereo or motion alone can be addressed by the use of stereo image sequences; however, many existing techniques for processing ...
We introduce models for density estimation with multiple, hidden, continuous factors. In particular, we propose a generalization of multilinear models using nonlinear basis functi...
