Regular mammography screening is essential for early breast cancer detection. Deep learning-based risk prediction methods have sparked interest to adjust screening intervals for high-risk groups. While early methods focused only on current…
Robust localization of organs in computed tomography scans is a constant pre-processing requirement for organ-specific image retrieval, radiotherapy planning, and interventional image analysis. In contrast to current solutions based on…
Suture needle localization is necessary for autonomous suturing. Previous approaches in autonomous suturing often relied on fiducial markers rather than markerless detection schemes for localizing a suture needle due to the inconsistency of…
We propose an automatic method to estimate self-reported pain based on facial landmarks extracted from videos. For each video sequence, we decompose the face into four different regions and the pain intensity is measured by modeling the…
The ability of humans to infer head poses from face shapes, and vice versa, indicates a strong correlation between the two. Accordingly, recent studies on face alignment have employed head pose information to predict facial landmarks in…
