We propose IM3D+, a novel approach to reconstructing 3D motion data from a flexible magnetic flux sensor array using deep learning and a structure-aware temporal bilateral filter. Computing the 3D configuration of markers (inductor-capacitor (LC) coi...
Advances in robotic technology have been adopted in various subspecialties of both open and minimally invasive surgery, offering benefits such as enhanced surgical precision and accuracy with reduced fatigue of the surgeon. Despite the advantages, ro...
Over the past two decades, there has been a growing body of work on wireless devices that can operate on the length scales of biological cells and even smaller. A class of these devices receiving increasing attention are referred to as bio-hybrid act...
Pipeline operational safety is the foundation of the pipeline industry. Inspection and evaluation of defects is an important means of ensuring the safe operation of pipelines. In-line inspection of Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) can be used to identify ...
