QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF VARIATIONAL SURFACE RECONSTRUCTION FROM SPARSE POINT CLOUDS IN FREEHAND 3D ULTRASOUND IMAGING DURING IMAGE-GUIDED TUMOR ABLATION

Surface reconstruction for freehand 3D ultrasound is used to provide 3D visualization of a VOI (volume of interest) during image-guided tumor ablation surgery.This is a challenge because the recorded 2D B-scans are not only sparse but also non-parallel.To solve this issue, we established a framework to reconstruct the surface of freehand 3D ultraso

This paper presents a SWOT analysis of the impact of recent EU regulatory changes on the business case for energy storage (ES) using the UK as a case study.ES technologies (such as batteries) are key enablers for increasing the Creams share of renewable energy generation and hence decarbonising the electricity system.As such, recent regulatory chan

We present a novel data-efficient semi-supervised framework to improve the generalization of image captioning models.Constructing a large-scale labeled image captioning dataset is expensive in terms of labor, time, and cost.In contrast to manually annotating all the training samples, separately collecting uni-modal datasets is immensely easier, e.g
