  • SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR TELE-COLLABORATION IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERIES
    Publication number: 20220079705
    Abstract: Disclosed is an immersive, augmented reality-based, enabling technology for tele-collaboration between a local surgeon and a remote surgeon during an MIS. The technology would provide realistic visual-cues to the local surgeon for the required movement of an actuated, high degree-of-freedom surgical tool during an MIS.

  • System and method for extracting an object of interest from an image using a robust active shape model
    Patent number: 7764838
    Abstract: A system and method for extracting an object of interest from an image using a robust active shape model are provided. A method for extracting an object of interest from an image comprises: generating an active shape model of the object; extracting feature points from the image; and determining an affine transformation and shape parameters of the active shape model to minimize an energy function of a distance between a transformed and deformed model of the object and the feature points.
