We introduce a mathematical framework for shape comparison based on mapping functions from the shape domain to a common reference domain. This Push-Forward Transform enables invariant and robust comparison of shapes, preserving intrinsic geometric information.

arXiv:2606. 17340v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate vision-based navigation in monocular endoscopy is difficult due to limited depth cues, weak tissue texture, non-rigid deformation, and substantial appearance variation across domains, all of which complicate pose estimation, depth prediction, and image-to-anatomy alignment.

Non-rigid 3D shape matching is a fundamental task in computer vision and graphics. In this paper, we propose a hybrid self-supervised method based on a coarse-to-fine strategy, which ensures consistency between the coarse mapping and the refined correspondence produced by our refinement module.
The growing number of medical vision foundation models highlights the need for effective model selection. However, mainstream selection methods rely on exhaustive fine-tuning, which is computationally expensive.
