3D shape models that directly classify objects from 3D information have become more widely implementable. Current state of the art models rely on deep convolutional and inception models that are resource intensive. Residual neural networks have been demonstrated to be easier to optimize and do not suffer from vanishing/exploding gradients observed in deep networks. Here we implement a residual ...

Reconstructing functional volumetric tissue in vivo following implantation remains a critical challenge facing cell-based approaches. Several pre-vascularization approaches have been developed to increase cell viability following implantation. Structural and functional restoration was achieved in a preclinical rodent tissue defect; however, the approach used in this model fails to repair larger...

We present an efficient adaptive method to compute the harmonic volumetric mapping, which establishes a smooth correspondence between two given solid objects of the same topology. We solve a sequence of charge systems based on the harmonic function theory and the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) for designing the map with boundary and feature constraints. Compared to the previous harmonic ...

We develop a volumetric video system which supports interactive browsing of compressed time-varying volumetric features (significant isosurfaces and interval volumes). Since the size of even one volumetric frame in a time-varying 3D data set is very large, transmission and on-line reconstruction are the main bottlenecks for interactive remote visualization of time-varying volume and surface dat...

background: it is not clear whether the use of volumetric peristaltic infusion pumps, affect the quality of the erythrocytes during packed cell transfusion or not. in the present study in vitro quality of red blood cells was assessed after using this type of infusion pumps in a prospective study. materials and methods: in this study 60 units of packed red cells were examined before and after pa...

Infants’ sensitivity to visual prosodic motion in infant-directed speech was examined by testing whether 8-month-olds can match an audio-only sentence with its visual-only schematic point-light display. The visual stimuli were sentence pairs of equal duration but unequal syllable number recorded using Optotrak. Twelve of the fourteen 8-month-olds tested looked longer at visual speech motion tha...

Interactive volume rendering in its standard formulation has become an increasingly important tool in many application domains. In recent years several advanced volumetric illumination techniques to be used in interactive scenarios have been proposed. These techniques claim to have perceptual benefits as well as being capable of producing more realistic volume rendered images. Naturally, they c...

We introduce prototype system for interactive exploration of volumetric data using a tangible screen, called ”Volume Slicing Display.” The system tracks the shape and the position of a screen on 3D space using a custom monocular high-speed vision system, then projects the corresponding slice of a 3D virtual object on the screen surface in real time. This experimental interface thus enables user...
