PURPOSE: Adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) capillary perfusion images can possess large variations in contrast, intensity, and background signal, thereby limiting the use of global or adaptive thresholding techniques for automatic...
We studied the use of a rotating multi-layer 3D Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) sensor (specifically the Velodyne HDL-32E) mounted on a social robot for the estimation of features of people around the robot. While LiDARs are often used for robot ...
Developing soft electrothermal actuators (ETAs) has drawn extensive concern in recent years. This article presents a comprehensive review on recent progress of soft ETAs through five sections: device design on structure and materials, property, fabri...
The LiDAR technology is a means of urban 3D modeling in recent years, and the extraction of buildings is a key step in urban 3D modeling. In view of the complexity of most airborne LiDAR building point cloud extraction algorithms that need to combine...
In today's data-driven world, the ability to process large data volumes is crucial. Key tasks, such as pattern recognition and image classification, are well suited for artificial neural networks (ANNs) inspired by the brain. Neuromorphic computing a...

PURPOSE: Real-time MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a challenging procedure due to its technical complexity, as well as the need for efficient multidisciplinary teamwork and transfer of an anesthetized patient between operating...
The development of miniaturized continuum robots has a wide range of applications in minimally invasive endoluminal interventions. To navigate inside tortuous lumens without impinging on the vessel wall and causing tissue damage or the risk of perfor...
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a wide-field and noncontact imaging technology for mapping blood flow. Although the denoising method based on block-matching and three-dimensional transform-domain collaborative filtering (BM3D) was proposed t...
