We propose a novel method for large-scale image stitching that is robust against repetitive patterns and featureless regions in the imagery. In such cases, state-of-the-art image stitching methods easily produce image alignment artifacts,…

Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is a promising technique for achieving high-resolution imaging in medical ultrasound. However, conventional FWI methods suffer from issues related to computational efficiency, dependence on initial models, and…

Medical ultrasound imaging relies heavily on high-quality signal processing to provide reliable and interpretable image reconstructions. Conventionally, reconstruction algorithms where derived from physical principles. These algorithms rely…

Multiple rotation averaging is an essential task for structure from motion, mapping, and robot navigation. The task is to estimate the absolute orientations of several cameras given some of their noisy relative orientation measurements. The…

Purpose: Surgical scene understanding plays a critical role in the technology stack of tomorrow's intervention-assisting systems in endoscopic surgeries. For this, tracking the endoscope pose is a key component, but remains challenging due…

The absence of functional arm joints, such as the wrist, in upper extremity prostheses leads to compensatory motions in the users' daily activities. Compensatory motions have been previously studied for varying task protocols and evaluation…

Ultrasound is the second most used modality in medical imaging. It is cost effective, hazardless, portable and implemented routinely in numerous clinical procedures. Nonetheless, image quality is characterized by granulated appearance, poor…

The study objective was to investigate the performance of a dedicated convolutional neural network (CNN) optimized for wrist cartilage segmentation from 2D MR images. CNN utilized a planar architecture and patch-based (PB) training approach…

This work demonstrates simultaneous pose (position and orientation) and shape estimation for a free-floating, bioinspired multi-link robot with unactuated joints, link-mounted thrusters for control, and a single gyroscope per link,…

This article explores the use of artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of pathologies of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), in particular, for the segmentation of the articular disc on MRI images. The relevance of the work is due to the…

Fingernail imaging has been proven to be effective in prior works [1],[2] for estimating the 3D fingertip forces with a maximum RMS estimation error of 7%. In the current research, fingernail imaging is used to perform unconstrained grasp…

Pancreatic diseases are difficult to treat with high doses of radiation, as they often present both periodic and aperiodic deformations. Nevertheless, we expect that these difficulties can be overcome, and treatment results may be improved…

Recognizing surgical gestures in real-time is a stepping stone towards automated activity recognition, skill assessment, intra-operative assistance, and eventually surgical automation. The current robotic surgical systems provide us with…

Although a growing number of exoskeletons have been developed for occupational applications, wrist exoskeletons remain relatively rare. However, in the meat processing industry, elbow and hand-wrist musculoskeletal disorders are…

Conventional electromyography (EMG) measures the continuous neural activity during muscle contraction, but lacks explicit quantification of the actual contraction. Mechanomyography (MMG) and accelerometers only measure body surface motion,…

Upper limb movement classification, which maps input signals to the target activities, is a key building block in the control of rehabilitative robotics. Classifiers are trained for the rehabilitative system to comprehend the desires of the…

In the field of biomedical imaging, ultrasonography has become increasingly widespread, and an important auxiliary diagnostic tool with unique advantages, such as being non-ionising and often portable. This article reviews the…

The ability to reliably predict the future quality of a wireless channel, as seen by the media access control layer, is a key enabler to improve performance of future industrial networks that do not rely on wires. Knowing in advance how…

Osteoporosis and osteopenia remain vastly underdiagnosed. Current clinical screening relies almost exclusively on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which measures bone mineral density (BMD) but fails to capture the compositional…

Detection of cartilage loss is crucial for the diagnosis of osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. A large number of automatic segmentation tools have been reported so far for cartilage assessment in magnetic resonance images of large joints. As…
