In this paper, we introduce a novel normal-assisted learning-based rigid registration approach, i.e., Deep Bi-directional Hybrid Mixture Registration (DeepBHMR). Our approach utilises helpful normal vectors explicitly in both correspondence and transformation stages and formulates the optimization o
In this paper, we introduce a novel overlap-based bidirectional point set registration approach, i.e., Overlap-guided Bidirectional Hybrid Mixture Registration (OBHMR), which incorporates geometric information (i.e., normal vectors) in both the correspondence and transformation stages and formulates…
In medical robotics and image-guided surgery (IGS), registration is needed in order to align together the coordinate frames of robots, medical imaging modalities, surgical tools, and patients. Existing registration algorithms often assume one point set to be a noise-free model while the other to con…
This paper presents a novel augmented reality (AR)-assisted orthopedic surgical robotic system based on Head-Mounted Display (HMD) devices. The proposed system can overlay the preoperative plans over the patient's anatomy and provide useful guidance for surgeons during interventions, with integrated…
This paper presents a novel, robust, and accurate three-dimensional (3D) rigid point set registration (PSR) method, which is achieved by generalizing the state-of-the-art (SOTA) Bayesian coherent point drift (BCPD) theory to the scenario that high-dimensional point sets(PSs) are aligned and that the…
Point set registration (PSR) is an essential problem in surgical navigation and image-guided surgery (IGS). It can help align the pre-operative volumetric images with the intra-operative surgical space. The performances of PSR are susceptible to noise and outliers, which are the cases in real-world…
Non-rigid point set registration (PSR) is an outstanding and fundamental problem in fields of robotics, computer vision, medical image analysis and imageguided surgery. The aim of a non-rigid registration problem is to align together two point sets that have been deformed. We have derived and presen…
