Augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation has developed rapidly in recent years. This
paper reviews and analyzes the visualization, registration, and tracking techniques used in …

We explore the effect of geometric structure descriptors on extracting reliable
correspondences and obtaining accurate registration for point cloud registration. The point …

Medical image analysis forms the basis of image-guided surgery (IGS) and many of its
fundamental tasks. Driven by the growing number of medical imaging modalities, the …

Inliers estimation constitutes a pivotal step in partially overlapping point cloud registration.
Existing methods broadly obey coordinate-based scheme where inlier confidence is scored …

Purpose The design of a maxillary anterior tooth crown is crucial to post-treatment aesthetic
appearance. Currently, the design is performed manually or by semi-automatic methods …

Accurately estimating 3-D rigid body transformation is a critical step for correspondences-
free point cloud registration method. However, recently proposed methods have faced …

The precision of unsupervised point cloud registration methods is typically limited by the lack
of reliable inlier estimation and self-supervised signal, especially in partially overlapping …

Augmented Reality (AR) holds the potential to revolutionize surgical procedures by allowing
surgeons to visualize critical structures within the patient's body. This is achieved through …

The traditional surgical navigation system for open liver tumor resection has some problems,
such as low tumor localization accuracy, high complexity of system operation, and heavy …

Background Interventional radiology employs minimally invasive image-guided procedures
for diagnosing and treating various conditions. Among these procedures, alcohol and …
