Object localization has applications in many areas of engineering and science. The goal is to spatially locate an arbitrarily-shaped object. In many applications, it is desirable ...
In this paper, we present a physically-based simulation framework to build up real-time Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) simulators using pointbased techniques. In our framework, s...
Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is performed on the beating heart, through inter-costal ports. The two major limitations of these procedures are: selecting port locations for op...
