We have been developing a liver surgical support system. By matching the depth images of
the real liver and the 3D liver model during surgery, the position of the liver, invisible blood …

Medical simulation technology has been rapidly developing, owing to the production of
cheap high-performance computers and depth cameras. We are developing a surgery …

To prevent liver surgical accidents, we have been developing a surgery navigation system
with two depth cameras with different characteristics. In this paper, we describe our …

This study developed support software for liver surgeons; the software can apply potential
functions to blood vessels and cancerous tissue and can adjust repulsion and attraction …

We propose a surgical navigation system aimed at conducting Depth–Depth Matching
(DDM) between virtual and real organ images. The depth image of virtual organs modeled …

We are developing a surgical support system for a liver laparotomy surgery. In our system,
we aim to navigate the surgical tools during surgery adapted to the change of the position …

We have been developing a depth-depth matching-based organ-following algorithm for use
in surgical navigation. In this paper, we experimentally compare the steepest descendent …

In our surgical navigation study, we construct a mechanical system for steadily capturing
several surgical scenes by using two parallel robotic sliders and multiple vision cameras. In …

In this study, we developed a deadlock-free and collision-free liver surgical navigation
method by switching potential-based and sensor-based approaches. The potential-based …

In this paper, we propose a smart deforming and/or cutting transcription algorithm for
rheology objects such as human livers. Moreover, evaluation of performance and shape …
