We propose a novel vessel enhancement filter for retinal images. The filter can be used as a preprocessing step in applications such as vessel segmentation/visualization, and pa...
This paper describes a method that accelerates pattern matching. The distance between a pattern and a window is usually close to the distance of the pattern to the adjacement windo...
Abstract. Clustering algorithms for multidimensional numerical data must overcome special difficulties due to the irregularities of data distribution. We present a clustering algo...
Abstract – This paper presents a real-time 3D ultrasoundguided robotic system, designed to autonomously navigate a surgical instrument to surgeon-specified target points. The sys...
