Ocean science and hydroacoustic seafloor mapping rely on accurate navigation underwater. By exploiting terrain information provided by a multibeam echosounder system, it is possible to significantly improve map quality. This article presents an algorithm capable of improving map quality and accuracy by aligning consecutive pings to tiles that are matched pairwise. A globally consistent solution is calculated from these matches. The proposed method has the potential to be used online in addition to other navigation solutions, but is mainly targeted for post processing. The algorithm was tested using different parameter settings on an AUV and a ship-based dataset. The ship-based dataset is publicly available as a benchmark. The original accurate navigation serving as a ground truth, alongside trajectories that include an artificial drift, are available. This allows quantitative comparisons between algorithms and parameter settings.

The hippocampus is a small, yet intricate seahorse-shaped tiny structure located deep within the brain's medial temporal lobe. It is a crucial component of the limbic system, which is responsible for regulating emotions, memory, and spatial navigation. This research focuses on automatic hippocampus segmentation from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images of a human head with high accuracy and fewer false positive and false negative rates.

The use of AR technology in image-guided neurosurgery enables visualization of lesions that are concealed deep within the brain. Accurate AR registration is required to precisely match virtual lesions with anatomical structures displayed under a microscope. The purpose of this work was to develop a real-time augmented surgical navigation system using contactless line-structured light registration, microscope calibration, and visible optical tracking.

Intraoperative fluorescence navigation can illuminate the tumor, directing surgeons to accurately achieve negative margins, which not only reduces recurrence but also minimizes the incidence of complications. Herein, we developed two near-infrared fluorescent probes (Em = 820 nm) and (Em = 823 nm) with prolonged tumor retention (>72 h) and high target-to-background ratios (up to 4.5) based on the conjugation of pan-cancer targeted fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) and the "tumor-seeking" Cyanine 7 bearing a meso-chloride and a cyclohexenyl skeleton (Cy7-Cl).

Myopia is rapidly escalating globally, especially in East and Southeast Asia, where its prevalence among younger populations reaches alarming levels of 80 to 90%. This surge contributes to a myopia epidemic linked to several ocular complications, including glaucoma. As myopic individuals age, the risk of developing glaucoma increases, and an additional concern arises from the growing frequency of refractive surgeries among younger individuals, making precise optic nerve assessments critical before surgery.

Accurate depth estimation is crucial for many fields, including robotics, navigation, and medical imaging. However, conventional depth sensors often produce low-resolution (LR) depth maps, making detailed scene perception challenging. To address this, enhancing LR depth maps to high-resolution (HR) ones has become essential, guided by HR-structured inputs like RGB or grayscale images.
