Ultrasound is a widely-used imaging modality critical to global healthcare, yet its interpretation remains challenging due to its varying image quality on operators, noises, and anatomical structures. Although large vision-language models (LVLMs) have demonstrated impressive multimodal capabilities…
Ultrasound imaging is widely used in clinical diagnostics due to its real-time capability and radiation-free nature. However, existing vision-language pre-training models, such as CLIP, are primarily designed for other modalities, and are difficult to directly apply to ultrasound data, which exhibit
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in aligning visual inputs with natural language outputs. Yet, the extent to which generated tokens depend on visual modalities remains poorly understood, limiting interpretability and reliability. In this work, we pre
Intraoperative 2D/3D registration, which aligns preoperative CT scans with intraoperative X-ray images, is critical for surgical navigation. However, existing methods require extensive preoperative training (several hours), making them unsuitable for emergency surgeries where minutes significantly i…
Annotation ambiguity due to inherent data uncertainties such as blurred boundaries in medical scans and different observer expertise and preferences has become a major obstacle for training deep-learning based medical image segmentation models. To address it the common practice is to gather multiple…
Teleoperation has widely contributed to many applications. Consequently, the design of intuitive and ergonomic control interfaces for teleoperation has become crucial. The rapid advancement of Mixed Reality (MR) has yielded tangible benefits in human-robot interaction. MR provides an immersive envir
Domain Adaptive Object Detection (DAOD) transfers an object detector to a novel domain free of labels. However, in the real world, besides encountering novel scenes, novel domains always contain novel-class objects de facto, which are ignored in existing research. Thus, we formulate and study a more…
Microsurgery involves the dexterous manipulation of delicate tissue or fragile structures, such as small blood vessels and nerves, under a microscope. To address the limitations of imprecise manipulation of human hands, robotic systems have been developed to assist surgeons in performing complex mic…
This paper studies a practical domain adaptative (DA) semantic segmentation problem where only pseudo-labeled target data is accessible through a black-box model. Due to the domain gap and label shift between two domains, pseudo-labeled target data contains mixed closed-set and open-set label noises…
"Open set domain adaptation (OSDA) aims to tackle the distribution shift of partially shared categories between the source and target domains, meanwhile identifying target samples non-appeared in source domain. The key issue behind this problem is to classify these various unseen samples as unknown…
Semantic segmentation serves as a cornerstone for safety autonomous driving and has been achieved remarkable progress at the price of dense annotations. Unsupervised domain adaptation was widely utilized to addresses this labor-intensive problem, which transfers the knowledge learned from labeled sy…
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to transfer the knowledge from the labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain. Existing self-training based UDA approaches assign pseudo labels for target data and treat them as ground truth labels to fully leverage unlabeled target data for model…
