— This paper presents a methodology to simulate cuts in deformable objects. It proposes a simple physical model of cutting in combination with a large displacement (Green) strain...
Skeletal representations of 2-D shape, including shock graphs, have become increasingly popular for shape matching and object recognition. However, it is well known that skeletal ...

The effectiveness and clinical benefits of image guided surgery are
well established for procedures where there is manageable tissue motion. In
minimally invasive cardiac, gastro...
In this paper, we present a non-rigid quasi-dense matching method and its application to object recognition and segmentation. The matching method is based on the match propagation...
— This paper formulates and solves the inverse dynamics problem of deformable robots made entirely of electro-active polymer gel. One of the primary difficulties with deformable...
