An automatic elastic registration method suited for vascularized organs is proposed. The vasculature in both the preoperative and intra-operative images is represented as a graph. A typical application of this method is the fusion of…
Automated pavement crack image segmentation is challenging because of inherent irregular patterns, lighting conditions, and noise in images. Conventional approaches require a substantial amount of feature engineering to differentiate crack…
The research fields of microfluidics and soft robotics both involve complex small-scale internal channel networks, embedded within a solid structure. This work examines leveraging viscous peeling as a mechanism to create and activate soft…
BACKGROUND: Navigational simulator use for specialized training purposes is rather uncommon in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. However, it reveals providing a valuable tool to train orthopaedic surgeons and help them to plan complex…
We propose an automatic segmentation method for lumen and media with irregular contours in IntraVascular ultra-sound (IVUS) images. In contrast to most approaches that broadly label each pixel as either lumen, media, or background, we…
During spinal fusion surgery, screws are placed close to critical nerves suggesting the need for highly accurate screw placement. Verifying screw placement on high-quality tomographic imaging is essential. C-arm Cone-beam CT (CBCT) provides…
Understanding the controlling mechanisms underlying injection-induced seismicity is important for optimizing reservoir productivity and addressing seismicity-related concerns related to hydraulic stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems.…
A universal particle velocity based algorithm for simulating hydraulic fractures, previously proposed for Newtonian fluids, is extended to the class of shear-thinning fluids. The scheme is not limited to any particular elasticity operator…
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) refers to the leakage or accumulation of blood within the skull, which occurs due to the rupture of blood vessels in or around the brain. If this condition is not diagnosed in a timely manner and appropriately…
When delineating lesions from medical images, a human expert can always keep in mind the anatomical structure behind the voxels. However, although high-quality (though not perfect) anatomical information can be retrieved from computed…
Accurate image alignment is essential for monitoring crack evolution in structural health monitoring (SHM), particularly under real-world conditions involving perspective distortion, occlusion, and low contrast. However, traditional feature…
Motivated by the inadequacy of conducting atomistic simulations of crack propagation using static boundary conditions that do not reflect the movement of the crack tip, we extend Sinclair's flexible boundary condition algorithm [Philos.…
Ultrasound imaging of the heart (echocardiography) is widely used to diagnose cardiac diseases. However, obtaining an echocardiogram requires an expert sonographer and a high-quality ultrasound imaging device, which are generally only…
The purpose of this paper is to help the anesthesiologist to find the epidural depth automatically to make the first attempt to enter the path of the needle into the patient's body while it is clogged with bone and avoid causing a puncture…
\textit{Objective:} Diagnosing pain in research and clinical practices still relies on self-report. This study aims to develop an automatic approach that works on resting-state raw EEG data for chronic knee pain prediction. \textit{Method:}…
This paper studies the key problems of bearing fault diagnosis of high-speed train. As the core component of the train operation system, the health of bearings is directly related to the safety of train operation. The traditional diagnostic…
Spectral embedding provides a framework for solving perceptual organization problems, including image segmentation and figure/ground organization. From an affinity matrix describing pairwise relationships between pixels, it clusters pixels…
Iterative Closest Point (ICP) is a widely used method for performing scan-matching and registration. Being simple and robust method, it is still computationally expensive and may be challenging to use in real-time applications with limited…
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) are often repaired through an Endovascular approach known as EVAR. The success and duration of these challenging procedures are primarily attributable to the accuracy and reliability of navigating…
The scalable adaptive cubic regularization method ($\mathrm{ARC_{q}K}$: Dussault et al. in Math. Program. Ser. A 207(1-2): 191-225, 2024) has been recently proposed for unconstrained optimization. It has excellent convergence properties,…
