RGB-D Semantic SLAM for Surgical Robot Navigation in the Operating Room
Cong Gao, Dinesh Rabindran, Omid Mohareri
Gaining spatial awareness of the Operating Room (OR) for surgical robotic systems is a key technology that can enable intelligent applications aiming at improved OR workflow. In th…
The Impact of Machine Learning on 2D/3D Registration for Image-guided Interventions: A Systematic Review and Perspective
Mathias Unberath, Cong Gao, Yicheng Hu +4
Image-based navigation is widely considered the next frontier of minimally invasive surgery. It is believed that image-based navigation will increase the access to reproducible, sa…
Generalizing Spatial Transformers to Projective Geometry with Applications to 2D/3D Registration
Cong Gao, Xingtong Liu, Wenhao Gu +4
Differentiable rendering is a technique to connect 3D scenes with corresponding 2D images. Since it is differentiable, processes during image formation can be learned. Previous app…
2018 Robotic Scene Segmentation Challenge
Max Allan, Satoshi Kondo, Sebastian Bodenstedt +38
In 2015 we began a sub-challenge at the EndoVis workshop at MICCAI in Munich using endoscope images of ex-vivo tissue with automatically generated annotations from robot forward ki…
Automatic Annotation of Hip Anatomy in Fluoroscopy for Robust and Efficient 2D/3D Registration
Robert Grupp, Mathias Unberath, Cong Gao +7
Fluoroscopy is the standard imaging modality used to guide hip surgery and is therefore a natural sensor for computer-assisted navigation. In order to efficiently solve the complex…
Learning to Avoid Poor Images: Towards Task-aware C-arm Cone-beam CT Trajectories
Jan-Nico Zaech, Cong Gao, Bastian Bier +4
Metal artifacts in computed tomography (CT) arise from a mismatch between physics of image formation and idealized assumptions during tomographic reconstruction. These artifacts ar…
