Early diagnosis is essential for the successful treatment of bowel cancers including colorectal
cancer (CRC), and capsule endoscopic imaging with robotic actuation can be a valuable …

The use of physically-based models combined with image constraints for intraoperative
guidance is important for surgical procedures that involve large-scale tissue deformation. A …

In this paper, we study the problem of unifying knowledge from a set of classifiers with
different architectures and target classes into a single classifier, given only a generic set of …

Despite recent advances in modeling the Shape-from-Shading (SFS) problem and its
numerical solution, practical applications have been limited. This is primarily due to the lack of …
