Abstract — The natural environments that robotic applications often encounter can present difficult problems for imagebased task execution. Prior efforts have used both grayscale...
In this paper, we present a novel technique that enables capturing of detailed 3D models from flash photographs integrating shading and silhouette cues. Our main contribution is ...
In this study, a virtual reality vitrectomy simulator is being developed to assist Ophthalmolgy residents in correcting retinal detachments. To simulate this type of surgery, a thr...
— A method is presented for non-rigid alignment of a source shape to a target shape through estimating and interpolating point-wise correspondences between their surfaces given a...
In this paper, we discuss a formalism for modeling regions that are exposed to movement or deformation. The basis of our formalism is the RCC theory, which uses topological relati...
