When Pulling Fails: Understanding and Alleviating SDF Collapse in Sparse Freehand Ultrasound Reconstruction
IJCAI 2026
Despite being a cost-effective modality for volumetric imaging, freehand three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound produces inherently sparse data due to the significant elevational gaps left by tracked 2D sweeps. This sparsity poses a unique challenge for Implicit Neural Representations (INRs). While succe
