Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents a method utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNN) and autoencoding for generating a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) based on information like beam angles and radiation pattern...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Medical simulation can provide safe, consistent, and repeatable learning opportunities to learners without risk to patient safety. There is an increasing awareness of the value that simulation brings to learni...

Article
Immersive virtual environments are increasingly used for medical training and rehearsal. Immersive environments can provide realistic context for team training, where success relies on practiced coordination b...

Computer vision techniques can enhance landmark-based navigation by better utilizing online photo collections. We use spatial reasoning to compute camera poses, which are then registered to the world using GPS...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The dedicated machine constraint for the photolithography process in semiconductor manufacturing is one of the new challenges introduced in photolithography machinery due to natural bias. With this constraint,...

I have been involved for some time in academic initiatives that bring information technology into the humanities. In ways both wonderful and painful, I have learned that information technology (IT) opens an un...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Many surgical procedures use cannulas, guidewires, and catheters in the treatment of life threatening conditions (e.g. cardiac tamponade and tension pneumothorax), or for diagnosis (e.g. diagnostic peritoneal ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Mass-casualty triage simulation requires the realistic depiction of wounds and other signs of external injury on victims. Texture maps permit images of actual wounds to be rendered over computer models. Severa...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper describes largely automated methods of creating connected, 3D vascular trees from individual vessels segmented from magnetic resonance angiograms. Vessel segmentation is initiated by user-supplied s...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We present a new method of intraoperative, image-based surgical instrument guidance. The method has the potential to significantly improve visualization of intraoperative procedures that currently depend on fl...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The Multiscale Medial Axis is a means for detecting and representing object shape at multiple scales simultaneously. One of its key characteristics is that the scale used to measure object properties (and henc...

Ray casting is frequently used as a means of rendering volume data. While this results in realistic images, the computational cost associated with ray casting is high. (Levoy 1990) has proposed a method of per...
