Regional Initiatives

• The MAGRIT and the MIMESIS teams have been working for several years on the use of augmented reality for deformable organs and especially on liver surgery. The PhD of Jaime Garcia Guevara started in October 2015 and is funded by the Région Lorraine. It is co-supervised by M.-O. Berger and S. Cotin (MILESIS, Strasbourg). It follows on from our past works and aims at improving the reliability and the robustness of AR-based clinical procedures.

• A one year post-doc position was granted by the Region Lorraine and the Université de Lorraine. Cong Yang started this position in November 2016 and ended in October 2017. He developed algorithms for object recognition in large-scale industrial environments (factories, vessels, ...), with the aim to enrich the operator's field of view with digital information and media. The main issues concerned the size of the environment, the nature of the objects (often non textured, highly specular, ...) and the presence of repeated patterns.
