While robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) procedures afford a variety of
benefits over open surgery and manual laparoscopic operations (including increased tool …

Field of view and accommodative focus are two fundamental attributes of many imaging
systems, ranging from human eyes to microscopes. Here, we present arrays of Fresnel zone …

The quality and the extent of intra-abdominal visualization are critical to a laparoscopic
procedure. Currently, a single laparoscope is inserted into one of the laparoscopic ports to …

Cloudlets are small-scale offloading units for low-latency demands, offering a unique
opportunity for emerging smart city applications such as autonomous driving or augmented …

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is limited in safety and efficiency by the hand-held nature
and narrow fields of view of traditional laparoscopes. A multi-resolution foveated …

An optimal camera placement problem is investigated. The objective is to maximize the area
of the field of view (FoV) of a stitched video obtained by stitching video streams from an array …

During minimal invasive surgery (MIS), the laparoscope only provides a single viewpoint to
the surgeon, leaving a lack of 3D perception. Many works have been proposed to obtain …

In this paper, we introduce a novel multi-view image denoising algorithm using 3D focus
image stacks (3DFIS) to exploit image redundancy within and across views. Robust disparity …

In this paper, we consider the task of stitching video frames captured by an array of micro-
cameras in order to create an enlarged field of view video for surgical applications. We …

We describe the fabrication of a flexible electrowetting microlens array. The microlenses are
composed of two immiscible liquids on a flexible substrate. The areal density modulated …
