SLIM (slit lamp image mosaicing): handling reflection artifacts.

Purpose: The slit lamp is an essential instrument for eye care. It is used in navigated laser treatment with retina mosaicing to assist diagnosis. Specifics of the imaging setup introduce bothersome illumination artifacts.

A comparative study of transformation models for the sequential mosaicing of long retinal sequences of slit-lamp images obtained in a closed-loop motion.

Purpose: Navigated panretinal photocoagulation is a standard care for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Slit-lamp-based systems used for this treatment provide a narrow view of the retina. Retinal mosaics are used for view expansion and treatment planning.

Automatic Detection of the Uterus and Fallopian Tube Junctions in Laparoscopic Images.

We present a method for the automatic detection of the uterus and the Fallopian tube/Uterus junctions (FU-junctions) in a monocular laparoscopic image. The main application is to perform automatic registration and fusion between preoperative radiological images of the uterus and laparoscopic images for image-guided surgery. In the broader context of computer assisted intervention, our method is the first that detects an organ and registration landmarks from laparoscopic images without manual input.
