AI‐based anatomical recognition for bladder neck dissection in robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy
Objective To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system for anatomical recognition that can automatically identify key anatomical structures during bladder neck dissection in robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a critical yet technically demanding step.

Symptom‐guided reduction of BCG dwell time: findings from the north‐REG randomized trial
Objectives To evaluate the impact of personalized dwell‐time (DT) reductions on symptom prevalence and systemic toxicities in patients undergoing Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) instillation for non‐muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods Within a multinational randomized controlled trial (North‐REG Dwell Time Study [NCT04701151]), 225 patients ...

Real‐time by‐example texture synthesis and filtering using local statistics exchange
Abstract Real‐time by‐example texture synthesis is used in interactive virtual worlds to generate the appearance of an unbounded surface from an exemplar texture with as few repetitions as possible. Currently, leading real‐time methods rely on a tiling and blending scheme which is known to synthesize well texture patterns with little spatial ...

One‐more‐vertex Next‐Event Estimation with Hierarchical Geometry Sampling
Abstract Robust next‐event estimation (NEE) remains a challenge in scenes characterized by sparse or small‐scale geometry where indirect illumination is the primary transport mechanism. In these scenes, traditional path construction, which relies on local directional sampling, often fails to find intersections with the sparse geometry, and standard NEE
