B-spline surface reconstruction and direct slicing from point clouds

open access: yes, 2006
The issue of surface reconstruction and slicing from point clouds has been receiving extensive attention recently. When using the B-spline surface fitting technique, the difficulty of parameterization exists.

Bronchoscope Tip Localization With Learned Airway Constraints and an Open Source Simulator

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
BronchoLoc addresses feature‐poor bronchoscopic imaging by combining monocular video with a preoperative CT graph to estimate 3D camera location. A local tracker identifies candidate branches, while a sequence‐aware global module refines the trajectory. Demonstrating sub‐centimeter accuracy across synthetic and phantom datasets, this framework advances

Surface Reconstruction and Volume Calculation of Grain Pile Based on Point Cloud Information from Multiple Viewpoints

open access: yesAgriculture
Accurate estimation of grain volume in storage silos is critical for intelligent monitoring and management. However, traditional image-based methods often struggle under complex lighting conditions, resulting in incomplete surface reconstruction and ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Shape optimization and mechanical properties analysis of the free-form surface

open access: yesScientific Reports
Architectural forms in practical engineering projects exhibit significant diversity and complexity, often exceeding the representational capacity of traditional curves or even B-spline curves.

The Presence and Percentage of Circulating Nucleated Red Blood Cells Reveal Distinct Characteristics in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although circulating nucleated red blood cells (cNRBCs) have previously been detected in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), their prevalence and clinical significance during steady‐state disease have not been established. We retrospectively analyzed 270 adults with an SS or Sβ0‐thalassemia genotype.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Medical Object 3D Modelling Using B-spline Surface

open access: yes
3D visualization of a medical object is an important and actual task in medical engineering. At the same time, the input data for this task often is described in 2D layer form (for example, medical images acquired with Magnetic Resonance Imaging ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...
