ConceptPose: Training-Free Zero-Shot Object Pose Estimation using Concept Vectors

CVPR 2026

Object pose estimation is a fundamental task in computer vision and robotics, yet most methods require extensive, dataset-specific training. Concurrently, large-scale vision language models show remarkable zero-shot capabilities. In this work, we bridge these two worlds by introducing ConceptPose, a

Node-RF: Learning Generalized Continuous Space-Time Scene Dynamics with Neural ODE-based NeRFs

CVPR 2026

Predicting scene dynamics from visual observations is challenging. Existing methods capture dynamics only within observed boundaries failing to extrapolate far beyond the training sequence. Node-RF (Neural ODE-based NeRF) overcomes this limitation by integrating Neural Ordinary Differential Equation

Shape Completion and Real-Time Visualization in Robotic Ultrasound Spine Acquisitions

IROS 2025

Ultrasound (US) imaging is increasingly used in spinal procedures due to its real-time, radiation-free capabilities; however, its effectiveness is hindered by shadowing artifacts that obscure deeper tissue structures. Traditional approaches, such as CT-to-US registration, incorporate anatomical info

CathFlow: Self-Supervised Segmentation of Catheters in Interventional Ultrasound Using Optical Flow and Transformers

IROS 2024poster

In minimally invasive endovascular procedures, contrast-enhanced angiography remains the most robust imaging technique, but exposes patients and surgeons to prolonged radiation. Alternatives such as ultrasound are difficult to interpret, are highly prone to artifacts and noise, and vary in quality,…

Implicit Neural Representations for Breathing-compensated Volume Reconstruction in Robotic Ultrasound

ICRA 2024poster

Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used in diagnosing and staging abdominal diseases due to its lack of non-ionizing radiation and prevalent availability. However, significant inter-operator variability and inconsistent image acquisition hinder the widespread adoption of extensive screening programs.…
